Transnet faces legal challenge

RESIDENTS of wards 66 and 32 in the Bluff are gearing up to take legal action against Transnet, following what they describe as a persistent and growing influx of illegal land invaders occupying their properties.

The decision comes after community members witnessed a surge in illegal encroachments along key roads, including Benjamin, Station, Hartlepool, and Peacehaven Place.

Local representatives, including attorney Eliessen Schoeman, chairperson of the Bathurst Residents and Ratepayers Association (BRRA), expressed their frustration at the lack of action taken by Transnet to address the issue, which they claim has been ongoing for years.
