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.
