The respondents and all those claiming title through them be and are hereby permanently interdicted from interfering with the operations of the applicant in any manner countrywide, reads part of the High Court order issued by Justice Maphios Cheda.
Justice Cheda also ordered Betty to return all JJA property in her possession with immediate effect.
The respondents are also be and are hereby interdicted from interfering with the applicants peaceful possession of its properties and motor vehicles, said Cheda Betty has been embroiled in a row with JJA board for the past 25 years over the ownership of properties.
