Johannesburg court rules mayor's ten-bodyguard policy unconstitutional, invalidates it.

The Johannesburg High Court ruled that the city's VIP protection policy, granting the mayor ten bodyguards, is invalid and unconstitutional due to a lack of threat assessment. The city must justify the enhanced security measures within six weeks or face enforcement of the ruling. The Democratic Alliance, which challenged the policy, will have the city cover its legal fees.
