dc.concourt.synopsis Appeal against the decision of the Cape Provincial Division (CPD) granting the respondent children and their parent's shelter on the basis of s 28 of the Constitution. The court (Yacoob J) considered both s 28 and s 26. There had been no infringement of s 28 since the primary obligation imposed by that section fell onto the child's immediate caregiver. Section 26 requires the State to put in place a reasonable programme for the progressive provision of adequate housing for all. This programme should comprise short, medium and long-term components. Appeal on the s 28 ruling allowed, but it was held that the State had failed to make provision in terms of the s 26 obligation to deal with people in crisis such as the applicants, and was ordered to devise and implement a programme that would do so.
dc.concourt.casehistory Appeal from a decision of the High Court in Grootboom v Oostenberg Municipality and Others 200 (3) BCLR 277 (CC) regarding the interpretation and application of ss 26 and 28 of the final Constitution, appeal upheld in part.
