THE HAZE CLUB

In August 2023 Fields of Green for ALL was admitted as Amicus Curiae (Friends of the Court) by the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein, South Africa. We salute Neil Liddell & Ben van Houten of The Haze Club for their conviction and patience in this long-running matter to claim our Constitutional right to establish Dagga Private Clubs / Cannabis Social Clubs in South Africa.

On October 13th 2020 the South African Police Service (SAPS) did what they do so well – raided a “suspected hydroponic dagga laboratory worth R250 000” in Ottery, Cape Town. We soon found out that it was The Haze Club, a Grower’s Club practising their Constitutional Right to Privacy  The director, Neil Liddell, and a staff member were arrested and remain out on bail to this day.
