The commission earlier found that if the municipality enforces an eviction order it is obligated to offer residence alternative accommodation.
OFM News arrived back at the Brandwag flats a short while ago to find residence still standing outside their flats.
Their belongings can still be seen outside the apartments. Residence who spoke to OFM News said nothing has been communicated to them with regards to the earlier agreement.
They also complained that security personnel were preventing them from accessing their homes.
