Court interdicts Operation Dudula from intimidating, harassing foreign nationals
The Gauteng High Court has interdicted the Operation Dudula movement from demanding that any private person produce identification before accessing health facilities.
Members of Operation Dudula have been picketing at hospitals and clinics in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, checking identity cards and stopping non-South Africans from entering.
The court judgment ruled that only immigration officials and South African Police Services (Saps) officers have the power to demand identification from persons.
The court interdicted the movement from intimidating, harassing and/or assaulting any individuals that they identify as being foreign nationals, and making of public statements that constitute hate speech on the grounds of nationality, social origin or ethnicity at public gatherings, on social media platforms or in any other way.
The movement is interdicted from interfering with the access of foreign nationals to health care services and/or their right to such access, and interfering with access to, or the operations of, schools and intimidating or harassing learners, teachers or parents at schools.
The court interdicted and restrained Operation Dudula from unlawfully evicting foreign nationals from their homes and unlawfully removing foreign nationals from their trading stalls or interfering with the employment of foreign nationals in shops and businesses.
It is also restrained from instigating, encouraging or inciting any other person to perform any of the acts prohibited by this order, on social media, at gatherings in terms of the Regulation of Gatherings Act 205 of 1993.
