Church's R500m 'homeless' claim against eThekwini falls flat.

claims that the grant of over R10m that it qualified for was never released as promised for the"relocation and establishment costs of infrastructure".

Munns appeared on behalf of the organisation, but was told in court that because the NPO was in the process of being deregistered, the matter could not proceed to trial. Advocate JP Broster, representing the municipality, raised this technicality on a point of law, stating that Munns had attempted to re-register the company but had failed.

In handing down judgment, judge Anton van Zyl noted that it was a"sad case with a long and sad history". "The defendant's counsel raised the fact that the company was not registered in its pursuing the relief it would want to obtain, thus trial was incapable of proceeding," he said.
