The Gauteng High Court ruling against property developer George Asaba paves the way for demolition of two high-rise buildings constructed in Pretoria west without approved plans.
The City of Tshwane says it has secured a decisive court victory granting it authority to demolish an unlawfully constructed multi-storey building in Proclamation Hill, Pretoria West, after the High Court issued a final interdict, eviction order and demolition ruling against property developer George Asaba.
The judgment relates to a property at 178 Proclamation Hill, 47 Arcadia Avenue, where the municipality says construction was carried out without approval and in direct violation of zoning regulations restricting the site to a single dwelling.
According to the City, the court order effectively “halts the unlawful construction of a multi-storey building” and requires “the complete removal of all illegal structures and occupants.”
MMC for Corporate and Shared Services, Clr Flora Monama, welcomed the ruling, describing Asaba as a repeat offender who ignored enforcement efforts by the municipality.
