Ti AI ṣe iroyin
The Johannesburg High Court has postponed a legal dispute between informal traders and the City of Johannesburg over evictions in the central business district until Monday. The Socio-Economic Rights Institute, representing the traders, argues the removals violate their right to trade, while the city defends the actions as necessary for regulation and urban renewal. Mayor Dada Morero emphasized the need for a verification process to ensure eligibility.
