Tshwane to demolish unlawfully constructed apartment block after court ruling

# Tenants at George Asaba’s flats in Pretoria West, Tshwane, may soon be displaced after the High Court in Pretoria ruled in favour of the City of Tshwane to demolish the building. The ruling follows findings that the structure was unlawfully built and not compliant with municipal regulations. The decision allows the city to proceed with tearing it down, raising concerns among affected residents about possible displacement and the broader enforcement of building safety.
