# Al Jama-ah says it is commemorating its 18th anniversary this month by intensifying efforts to defend farm dwellers from evictions. Leader Ganief Hendricks, backed by the South African Human Rights Commission, is pushing for a national moratorium on these evictions. Hendricks says that despite minister of Land Reform and Rural Development, Mzwanele Nyhontso, declaring a moratorium in January, courts and farmers continue evictions. He adds that it is unacceptable that the farming community continue to be victims of forced removals.
