The Commission’s investigation aims to ascertain the following, amongst others:
•    The prevalence of the practice of evictions pursuant to eviction orders by the Royal Bafokeng Traditional Court and other Traditional Courts;

•    The impact of such evictions (i.e. financial, emotional, physical and spiritual impacts) on the affected persons and their families; and

•    The redress required by those impacted by the evictions.
In view of the above, the Commission hereby invites members of the public and civil society organisations to make submissions on this matter. The submissions should include information about actual evictions pursuant to eviction orders by the Royal Bafokeng Traditional Court and other Traditional Courts, the impact of such evictions, and the redress required. As far as possible, supporting documents should accompany the submissions to the extent that such supporting documents exist.
The information received will form the basis of engagements with all relevant stakeholders, as part of the investigation.

The requested submissions are requested by 4 November 2022 and may be delivered by hand or e-mail at the following addresses:
