EFF Seeks Constitutional Damages Over Forced Removals From SONAs

By: Zilungile Mkhize

Constitutional damages are a punitive form of relief with the dual function of deterring future human rights violations  and promoting constitutional values.

However, Parliament maintains the ejections  were justified due to the disruption.
