Leihlo La Sechaba | Land disposession and trauma

A family evicted from their home outside Krugersdorp accuses the courts of using the wrong piece of legislation to sanction their eviction. Prestige Park management using the PIE Act recently evicted the Molefe family, which has stayed on a plot of land since 1955.
That act classified them as illegal occupiers. However, the family insists that their rights to that land are protected under the ESTA Act. The family also accuses officials at Mogale City Local Municipality of bending the rules to enable the process of their eviction by the developers.
