Life after an eviction

The Red Ants evicted a couple of hundred people from a 

building in the Pretoria CBD last week.  Almost immediately after the 

eviction the residents got a court order allowing them back in the building

until further notice.

Everyone's belongings got dumped on the sidewalk, broken and unsorted.  

People spent days looking for their things sometimes not even finding

it again.  Those that moved back into the building had even less than

what they had before the eviction.  

You can't want to live for free but there surely must be a better way of 

sorting this out.  There is nothing worse than treating a human 

being worse than an animal.
