The illegal occupation of Marievale buildings by both civilians and military personnel is a cause of great concern. Effortless accessibility and illegal occupation of defence facilities illustrate that security breaches could occur at defence facilities with ease and that defence facilities or state property are not well secured. The Department should, within one month of the adoption of this report, submit to Parliament, a status report on how this matter had been addressed, and measures put in place to ensure that such illegal occupation does not occur again.
