Blue Moonlight Properties v Occupiers of Saratoga Avenue

The best angle to see all of this is through the actual court cases.

Take, for instance, City of Johannesburg versus Blue Moonlight Properties from 2011.

The Constitutional Court emphasized that municipalities must provide emergency housing to evicted squatters.

Or consider Barron and Others v. Claytile in 2017, which confirmed that while private owner rights must be respected, evictions cannot result in homelessness without reasonable alternative accommodation being arranged.
