Glen Marikana interdict: High Court still counting affidavits
Five still behind bars following commotion
No decision has yet been made on whether an interdict should be granted to stop the Glen Marikana relocation. It might be heard today [March 5[ at the South Gauteng High Court.
The matter first went to court on Monday and was postponed to Wednesday to allow Glen Marikana residents to submit affidavits at Kempton Park SAPS on Tuesday.
The affidavits were then taken to the High Court and according to one of the residents, Elly Mashiane, the matter was postponed to Thursday as they were told that the affidavits still had to be counted.
Meanwhile, at Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court, the case of the 21 people who were arrested on public violence charges was postponed to March 11.
The suspects were arrested after a commotion erupted on February 24, the first day of the relocation. The matter went to court on March 4 for bail applications but Mashiane told Express it was postponed to allow for the confirmation of the suspects’ addresses.
