Nine families living on Ertjiesfontein farm near Saron in the Western Cape were granted a temporary reprieve from eviction yesterday, says a report on the IoL site.
The Tulbagh Magistrates Court postponed an eviction order against the families for about a month, ruling that the eviction to be carried out today (Thursday) be halted pending a Land Claims Court ruling. The families are part of a group of workers who were made black empowerment shareholders of the farm. However the venture reportedly went bankrupt, and the farm was sold off by the Land Bank.
