==Need for the Document==
Where unlawful occupiers whose basic rights are not at risk have to be evicted, the private land owner must, without delay, approach the court for an eviction order in terms of the Prevention of Illegal Eviction From and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act, 1998 (Act 19 of 1998). 

 
==Information which might help==
*Both state land (land under the control of a national or provincial government or municipality) and privately-owned land can be invaded unlawfully.

*Government has a constitutional duty to ensure – where required and with available resources – that all citizens can enjoy their basic rights to access to land and to housing. Where large-scale invasions occur, government has a similar duty to assist private landowners to protect their land.
