Residents of a Cape Town informal settlement on Thursday protested against their relocation outside the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg.

Joe Slovo residents opposed a high court order that they be relocated to Delft, said community leader Mzwanele Zulu.

"We came with 100 people from Cape Town and we have about 60 Joburg people who joined us in support of the march. We are going to be picketing here the whole day."

Zulu said they were against an order which would see 20 000 people being evicted and moved.

"The court will decide today (Thursday) whether we are supposed to be moved."

The SABC reported that the Constitutional Court reserved judgment on Thursday.
