The Western Cape High Court will hear a case on Thursday against a group of people who allegedly illegally occupied houses in District Six, Cape Town.

On Monday, the group approached the court which granted it an interim order to evict the occupants.
They were given until Tuesday morning to vacate the premises. It was unclear whether all the occupants adhered to the order.
The department and the group will present their cases on Thursday.
