Un tribunal ordena a Ekurhuleni reconstruir el asentamiento de la N12

Un juez del Tribunal Superior de Gauteng ha ordenado a la Ciudad de Ekurhuleni permitir que cientos de familias regresen al asentamiento informal de la N12 en Benoni después de que sus hogares fueran demolidos en mayo.

La orden se produce tras las demoliciones llevadas a cabo entre el 6 y el 15 de mayo bajo la Operación Prosper. Soldados de la Fuerza de Defensa Nacional de Sudáfrica estuvieron presentes durante la operación, dirigida contra mineros ilegales. El juez Stuart Wilson dictaminó que la Ciudad no logró justificar las acciones y podría haber infringido una decisión del Tribunal Constitucional de 2011.

La Comisión Sudafricana de Derechos Humanos obtuvo medidas cautelares para 570 residentes. La Ciudad deberá suministrar estructuras temporales antes de finales de mes. Wilson señaló que la proclamación original de la Operación Prosper requería que los soldados regresaran a sus cuarteles a finales de abril.

Wilson supervisará el cumplimiento de la orden. El administrador municipal y el alcalde deben informar sobre el progreso al tribunal a mediados de julio. Se ordenó al municipio cubrir los costes de la solicitud.
