The Western Cape High Court has interdicted a roofing contractor who trolled a construction company after being kicked off site, prohibiting the contractor from defaming the company and compelling it to remove posts from social media. | itchybyte

The court found that the roofer made unsubstantiated claims on social media about shoddy workmanship at the Hartland Lifestyle Estate Development near Mossel Bay to get invoices paid.

In the High Court's judgment, it emerged that Dalmar terminated its contract with Dakman in February 2023 due to a dispute over the standard of Dakman's work and its productivity. Not getting any assurance that the posts would be removed and convinced it would continue, Dalmar urgently sought an interdict.However, Acting Judge Mushahida Adhikari found that the roofer had failed to prove the claims.

Horn said in an affidavit that he may not be an expert, but he knows a lot about roofing and accused the company of lying.
