Haitian Embassy evicted in South Africa, possessions confiscated

The website reported that upon the arrival of the truck to evacuate the property, personnel at the embassy called police to report robbery. The Police was met by the sheriff as they were ordered to take possession.

Another attempt was made by the the Haitian diplomat by claiming diplomatic immunity. However, this did not work either. Representative for the landlord of the property, Morris Coetze, stated that immunity does not extend to commercial transactions.
