Residents, Marievale Military Base clash again
Share
Pretoria - The protracted dispute between residents and the Marievale Military Base is again the subject of an urgent application in the North Gauteng High Court, Pretoria.
The residents are again complaining that military personnel are making life difficult for them. The events that prompted this latest application occurred last month.
The residents claim about 100 soldiers armed with R4 assault rifles and pangas approached Happiness Village next to the base. They said the soldiers started assaulting residents and demolished their shacks. Before this alleged incident, four soldiers had apparently entered the village to investigate the construction of new houses.

Unisa’s executive director of legal services, Adv Modidima Mannya, has hauled vice-chancellor Prof Puleng LenkaBula to court after she suspended him for, among other things, allegedly abusing his position.
Mannya was placed on suspension on April 8 for three months after he rejected a proposal by LenkaBula to participate in what she termed, according to him, “a mediation”.
He has asked the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria to suspend the vice-chancellor’s decision to suspend him pending the finalisation of the arbitration of the dispute.
