ActionSA says its campaign billboard in Diepkloof, Soweto, has been removed and that the City of Johannesburg did so without obtaining a court order. The party says it is considering legal action in response, arguing that the removal was not authorised by a court.
The outlets report that ActionSA’s challenge also raises questions about whether the billboard complies with municipal regulations. While ActionSA focuses on the absence of a court order as the basis for its dispute, the reporting notes that there is also scrutiny over the billboard’s conformity with Johannesburg’s requirements for such structures. The differing emphasis reflects a split between procedural concerns and regulatory compliance questions.
At this stage, the reports indicate ActionSA is weighing its next steps, rather than describing any court proceedings already under way.
