Cape Town - People occupying the old Woodstock Hospital have accused the City of resorting to bullying and intimidation while a court case is pending, after law enforcement officers and police stormed the property with cameras on Monday.
In a video taken by the occupants, the law enforcement officers are seen being chased away by the residents while screaming, “They want to intimidate us. This is our home, we are going nowhere.”
This occurred while the occupants, represented by the Centre for Applied Legal Studies (CALS), are expected to respond to the City’s application for a court-ordered survey of the almost 1 000 occupants after the Western Cape High Court granted them an opportunity to respond.

British multinational security services company, G4S, is mum on the alleged surge in stabbings at the notorious Mangaung private prison and told OFM News they are not permitted to address media without the Correctional Services Departmentâs say so.
Anonymous sources at the private prison â formally known as the Mangaung Correctional Centre (MCC) on the outskirts of Bloemfontein â allege yet another G4S employee was attacked by an inmate at the weekend, fuelling concerns over the increasing dysfunction at the largest maximum private prison in South Africa, with roughly 3000 of some of the most dangerous inmates in the country.
