Judgment reserved in 7de Laan evictions case

High Court Judge Shafimana Ueitele this afternoon reserved judgement until next week Friday in a case involving 15 applicants who were left homeless on Monday after the City Police demolished their shacks. They are taking on the City of Windhoek and the municipal police for destroying their corrugated-iron homes. The judgement will now be handed out on 7 April. Legal teams for the City of Windhoek squared off against Affirmative Repositioning (AR) lawyers acting for the 15 7de Laan residents whose shacks were torn down on Monday during a City Police operation. Lawyers Kadhila Amoomo and Henry Shimutwikeni are representing the 7de Laan residents, while Boris Isaacks is instructing Advocate Thabang Phatela and Sylsken Makando on behalf of the City of Windhoek and the City Police in the matter.
