One of the women evicted from the Forest Hill military base in Port Elizabeth by soldiers is too frightened to return home‚ despite a court order allowing her to do so. This comes as South African National Defence Force (SANDF) investigators will start their probe into the bizarre incident that led to Alta Smit’s belongings being dumped in front of the Port Elizabeth City Hall by armed soldiers on Friday.SANDF spokesman Brigadier-General Xolani Mabanga said while investigators would look into the reasons why the furniture was dumped there‚ they would not probe why soldiers were issued with guns for carrying out the task.“People might talk about it‚ but for us it is a matter of routine. A firearm is part of a uniform‚” he said. Mabanga said Smit’s eviction was one of many carried out countrywide as there were families illegally occupying military housing.About 20 soldiers‚ most of them armed with semi-automatic firearms‚ arrived in trucks at the City Hall on Friday and‚ amid threats and open displays of aggression‚ offloaded Smit’s furniture and household goods. Smit had been living on the base for nearly 17 years. She was married to an SANDF member‚ from whom she is now divorced.Her former husband no longer lives on the base‚ reports The Herald. – TMG Digital/The Herald..
