This is more just an opinion, and it doesn't really track with the legal reality unfortunately...
The municipality should have no say or need to get involved in this. This would be SANDF land, they should be removing the squatters and getting SAPS involved to charge with land invasion (or whatever else) and be done with it.
Reality is considerably more messy thanks to the way laws were written and then interpreted unfortunately.
SANDF property is supposed to be guarded 24/7. There is absolutely no way they can't notice squatters moving in and act within 24 hours to remove them without involving the courts. Trespassing on military property is another offence they can use to remove the squatters.
