Background
The applicant sought an urgent interdict to prevent respondents from taking over her farm land that was compulsorily acquired by government in 2017. She claimed rights through her late husband who was offered the land by Triangle Limited. The first respondent had received an offer letter for the same land and allegedly set up camp on her farm in September 2020.
