Dladla and Others v City of Johannesburg and Another (Centre for Applied Legal Studies and Centre for Child Law as Amici Curiae)

The Concurrent majority held that the applicants were entitled to constitutional protection at the Shelter, that the lockout and family separation rules limited their rights to dignity, freedom and security of the person, and privacy, and that those limitations were unjustified. The appeal succeeded because the impugned rules were unconstitutional and were interdicted; the City and MES could not enforce them against the applicants for the duration of their stay.
