The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria today ruled that patients who have tested positive for Covid-19 or suspected of contracting the virus cannot be forced to be quarantined or isolated in a State facility if that person can successfully self quarantine or self isolate. A separate room where no else enters, sleeps or spends time in will suffice.

But the government didn't even oppose this application. There are only 1000 odd people in hospital because they could not self isolate at their own residences, the rest are at home.

A large number of people are "quarantined" in Government facilities. I do know they use some "run-down" Escom facility in Gauteng, a Resort in Limpopo.

This is not the first such case they have lost. There were 2 medical Doctors that took them to court in the early stages of Lock-down, to secure their released from such a facility in Limpopo.

Not yet. What they have shown over the past few weeks though, is if you leave half a gap, they will exploit it.

Isolating and being in hospital are 2 different things. There was some dodgy place in Mpumalanga or Limpopo where people were forced to be quarantined, amongst others.
