The Gauteng High Court has issued an interdict against Operation Dudula, preventing the movement from taking any actions that violate the rights of foreign nationals.
The ruling, delivered on Tuesday afternoon by Judge Leicester Adams, follows an application by Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia KAAX and several civil society organisations SABC .
Adams, in his ruling, affirmed that being a non-citizen or undocumented foreign national does not strip an individual of their basic human rights.
