The vast majority of the prawns didn't understand the concept of an "eviction notice"
Right.
So the premise that we'd have to serve then the notices seems odd and unnecessary to me. We were holding them hostage for 20-30 years. Why be civil now?

Becuase the eviction notices weren't for the benefit of the aliens, it was for the benefit of the humans. It was demonstrating how the power structure uses the cover of law and bureaucracy to hide its evil actions and assuage their guilt. besides, the people doing the evicting weren't, as a rule, evil. They were just bureaucrats doing their job. No one is to blame then for the inhumane treatement.
I liked it as an allegory for Apartheid and the ongoing problems of poverty in the Third World. Filming it in an actual ghetto in J'burg is a nice touch.

The interviews at the beginning were footage from actual interviews about different groups of humans living in SA, too.

The people of Johanisberg (sp?) reached a breaking point with the aliens, so they had to move them much further away from Johanisberg. Thats the only reason they were giving them eviction notices.
