For the establishment of a pre-approved list of service providers for the

Protection, monitoring and prevention of unlawful occupations and

Removal of illegally constructed structures on land and buildings

Owned by the gauteng department of human settlements for a period of

Thirty-six (36) months

The purpose of this bid is to establish a suitable panel of Service Providers for the protection,

monitoring and prevention of unlawful occupations and removal of illegally constructed structures

on land and buildings owned by the Gauteng Department of Human Settlements.

2. Background and legislative framework

15.1. Mandate of Department of Human Settlements

15.1.1. The Department’s mandate is derived from Chapter 2, the Bill of Rights, Chapters 3 and

6 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No. ). Section

26 in the Bill of Rights guarantees the right to have access to adequate housing. The

State is mandated to take steps to achieve the progressive realization of this right.

15.1.2. Schedule 4A of the constitution makes the housing function a concurrent national and

provincial legislative competence. In this regard, the core functions of the GDHS

amongst others include:

15.1.3. Developing GPG specific housing development policies that will accelerate provision of

houses for all and generally build sustainable communities.

15.1.4. Ensuring that the GPG’s housing development policies are integrated into the province’s

short, medium, and long-term plans developed by the Gauteng Planning Commission.

15.1.5. Developing and implementing programmes and projects that give effect to Gauteng

Provincial housing policies and plans; as reflected in its short, medium, and long-term

plans; etc.

15.2. Applicable Laws

15.2.1. There are three principal statutes that concern themselves with the unlawful invasion of

land, namely the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, the Prevention of

Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act, 1998 (Act No. ), and

the Trespass Act, 1959 (Act No. ).

15.2.2. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, in section 26(3) provides that: “No

one may be evicted from their home, or have their home demolished, without a court order

after considering all the relevant circumstances.” Section 26(3) further states that― “No

legislation may permit arbitrary evictions.”

15.2.3. The scope of section 26(3) has been widely interpreted however it clearly prevents the

demolition of one’s home, and one’s removal from it. But it also extends to any attenuation

or obliteration of the incidents of invasion of land or buildings for residential purposes. The

Department in this case is at the forefront of invasions of unoccupied land and buildings,

hampering the ability of the Department to meet its constitutional mandate.

15.2.4. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that once a person is in occupation of his or her “home”,

a court order is required not only to remove him or her from it, but also not to interfere in

any way with his or her use or enjoyment of the land or building for residential purposes.

15.2.5. In mitigating against the occurrence of these illegal occupations of land and buildings it is

deemed important that the Department assumes a proactive approach in addressing the

invasion of land and buildings through procuring the services of service providers that will

not only monitor and secure the Department’s immovable assets and remove illegal

occupants where invasions have occurred.

15.2.6. The Department, its agencies and its appointed service providers are required to comply

with the primary legislation pertaining to land invasion and illegal occupation of property,

along with the following pieces of legislation with respect to the scope of work under this

panel, however not limited to these and subject to any amendments should any applicable

legislation be amended or replaced, which include:

15.2.6.1. Private Security Industry Regulations Act; Act

15.2.6.2. Code of Conduct for Security Service Providers, 2003

(Prescribed under the Private Security Industry Regulations act,

2001

15.2.6.3. The Appeal Regulations, 2002 promulgated in 2002

15.2.6.4. Provisions from the Security Officers Act

15.2.6.5. The Compensation for Occupation Injuries and Diseases Act;

Act

15.2.6.6. The Occupational Health and Safety Act; Act

15.2.6.7. The Criminal Procedure Act; Act

15.2.6.8. The Firearms Control Act; Act

15.2.6.9. Control and Access to Public Premises and Vehicles Act; Act

15.2.6.10. Trespass Act, 1959 (Act No. )

15.2.6.11. The Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation

of Land Act, 1998 (Act No. )

15.2.6.12. Promotion of Administrative Justice Act (PAJA), 2000 (Act )

15.2.6.13. Information Act, 2000 (Act )

15.2.6.14. Labour Relations Act, 1995 (Act )

15.2.6.15. Employment Equity Act, 1998 (Act )

15.2.6.16. Protection of Information Act, 2013 (Act )

15.2.6.17. Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996

15.3. Application of the Prevention of Illegal Eviction and Unlawful

Occupation of Land

15.3.1. The Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act, 1998 (Act

No. ), provides the fine statutory framework in which this judgment is made.

Under the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act, a court

may not evict a person from his or her home unless it is just and equitable to do so.

15.3.2. The Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act accordingly

aims to strike a balance between a property owner’s common-law right to exclusive use

and possession of his or her property, on the one hand, and the needs of people who are

driven to occupy land unlawfully because they have nowhere else to go.

15.3.3. Property owners are entitled to exclusive use and possession of their property but, where

their property is unlawfully occupied by people who would otherwise be homeless, that

right is suspended until the state, usually, the local authority, is reasonably able to provide

alternative accommodation to the unlawful occupiers.

15.3.4. In dealing with illegal occupation of land it appreciated that where unlawful occupiers have

established a home, they may not be removed from that home, or be disturbed in

occupation of it, without an order of court. Before the court can grant an eviction order, it

must be satisfied that it is just and equitable to evict an unlawful occupier.

15.4. Land and Housing Conundrum

15.4.1. The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements has a constitutional mandate to facilitate

access to housing, and the promotion of sustainable and liveable neighbourhoods. The

sixth political administration governing the province has enhanced this mandate to also

concentrate on urban planning and development. Access to land for human settlements

purpose has become an overwhelming issue not only for the government but also for

people who need land for housing and settlements purposes.

15.4.2. The Department has been overwhelmed with cases of unlawful occupations of land that

would have been earmarked for development, unlawful occupation of completed and not

yet allocated RDP houses and hostels, mushrooming informal settlements, illegal sale of

government-owned land and RDP houses, thus impeding the progress made on fulfilling

this constitutional mandate. The land issue, therefore, becomes daunting for the

government and the people of the Gauteng City Region.

15.5. The Burgeoning Land and Housing Problem

15.5.1. Unlawful occupations of land in Gauteng occur at both private and Government-owned

land without distinctions. The other challenge that the provincial government must deal

with is the unlawful occupations of government built full subsidised houses and land

parcels.

15.5.2. This burgeoning problem turns to lead to community conflicts for those who are opposed

to unlawful occupations of open land parcels adjacent to their properties for the fear of

devaluation of their properties and the delay in right beneficiaries being allocated Breaking

New Grounds (BNG) houses. The pro-active management of unlawful occupations of land

and government-owned buildings tides up well to the GPG Rapid Land Release

Programme of conferring land rights to the previously dispossessed individuals of our

Province. As a deterrent, the Department needs to find proactive ways of managing these

unlawful activities whilst being mindful of the principles of a developmental state.

15.5.3. The above are the main contributors and considerations to the delay in housing delivery

in Gauteng and continue to be a challenge, especially with the rising issues of unlawful

occupation of government-owned land that is earmarked for housing projects. The

requirements imposed by the courts on the landowner which includes that the eviction of

an unlawful occupier must be “just and equitable”.

15.5.4. Over the years the GDHS through several efforts to curb and manage unlawful occupation

of land, buildings and commercial property within the inner cities of Gauteng have

established that there are criminal syndicates which are exploiting the developing

jurisprudence in evictions by shack lording, use of unlawful land occupation for political

gain, shack farming which becomes uncontrollable, and general criminals who sell

government owned land. As a result of the developments in the legal framework,

municipalities assisted by the provincial government are required to provide alternative

accommodation to evicted dwellers, which in turn places a huge burden on the

government resources in managing and addressing the challenges of land invasions.

15.5.5. The Department has engaged various interested and affected stakeholders, including law

enforcement agencies and Departments at local, provincial and national spheres of

government in addressing matters of illegal occupation of land and buildings. Accordingly,

there are a number of forums that have been established to actively address and mitigate

against the occurrence of illegal invasions, wherein the appointed service providers shall

be required to participate on an as-and -when required basis.

15.5.6. In view of the complexities and challenges facing provincial and local government

regarding managing and responding to land invasions, a variety of practical approaches

and lessons of good practice need to be explored and documented in order to assist

practitioners working to prevent the spread and development of new informal settlements

in Gauteng.

15.5.7. The GDHS thus seeks to utilise the services of a panel of service providers with different

skills set whose combined efforts will assist the Department in ultimately preventing,

managing and curbing unlawful occupation of land and buildings in Gauteng.
