Sheriff attempts to remove SAPS Assets
As and when the Minister of Police or any state departments do not pay the damages awarded to you by the court, you will be required to follow due process to enforce payment.
In the case 22262/02 Greenberg v Gouws & Minister of Safety and Security the Sheriff went to the SAPS Provincial Head Quarters at 16 Empire Rd, Partktown on the 17 December 2010 to remove assets of the SAPS to satisfy the judgment costs and legal fees.
Despite the Sheriff being lawfully permitted to remove assets that were attached on the 26th November 2010, Brigadier Meyer and Brigadier Van Tonder informed the Sheriff that it was their intention to launch an urgent application to interdict the Sheriff from proceeding with his removal.
Thereafter Minister of Police then launched an urgent application in the South Gauteng High Court on the 24 December 2010 to stay the removal of their assets.
