Bredell land occupation
The Bredell land Occupation occurred outside Johannesburg, in South Africa, in 2001.[1] The Pan-African Congress supported the occupation.[2]
The state destroyed the shacks built on the occupied land. Women tried to resist by shaming the evictors with their nakedness but the eviction went ahead.[3]
Professor Gillian Hart described it as a "profound moral crisis for the post-apartheid state".[4]
