As amicus curiae in the matter, Fields of Green for ALL has received notice of the appellants withdrawal of their appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein. The Haze Club has agreed to a settlement with the other parties – various government departments and the NDPP. The contents of the settlement are strictly confidential. Fields of Green for ALL has not seen the contents and never will.

2024 11 13 – Notice of Withdrawal Haze Club

What we do know is that the case is now complete and we do not get further clarification on the legality of Dagga Private Clubs. We also know that the reasons for the settlement were personal but probably involved dropping of the criminal charges.

Please watch our discussion in the studio and we welcome any questions in the comments below. 

Here at Fields of Green for ALL we knew something was amiss after the March postponement so have been quietly strategising in the background. We are confident there is a solid way forward for Private Clubs in South Africa and do not waiver in our opinion that clubs should be legal, given the 2018 Constitutional Court judgment. Thank you for your continued support in making all avenues possible.
