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.

Nights of terror in Happiness Village

First published in the Daily Maverick 168 weekly newspaper.
From being forced into the river and held there for hours to being made to roll in mud, and having firearms and grenades being discharged around their village on occasion, residents of Happiness Village (an informal settlement outside Johannesburg) have described the nights of terror they face as, they claim, the army tries to force them to leave the area.
As their stand-off with the military continues over their occupation of land where soldiers are trained, residents of Happiness Village have described how soldiers have “raided” their village twice this year despite several interdicts granted to prevent this.

The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is facing a lawsuit for constitutional damages following what was described in papers before the Gauteng High Court as “an ongoing campaign of violence and intimidation” against the residents of Happiness Village, next to the Marievale Military Base near Nigel.
This week the Gauteng High Court issued another interdict in the drawn-out litigation between the community members and the SANDF to prevent soldiers from breaking down any more shacks, using firearms to “harass” the villagers and assaulting those living in the village.
Community leader Chris Koetsioe, who lives at House 1 in Happiness Village, said the community lives on land next to the Marievale Military Base.
