Seems like constitutional damages are a real thing unless you are residents of Winnie Mandela informal settlement in Tembisa.
Replying to @ConCourtSA
(2/4) Given the egregiousness and callousness of the violation and the circumstances of the applicants, an award of constitutional damages is the most appropriate and effective remedy in the circumstances.

Judge Wilson is one of the finest judges we’ve had. There is zero indication he’s not articulating the law. This is just an attempt to undermine a judicial ruling without saying why, in law, it is wrong. He’s literally following ConCourt precedent and the current view of SA law.
South Africans, I think it’s time we stop just complaining on X and start using the institutions available to us.
I’ve drafted a formal request asking the appropriate bodies to investigate the concerns surrounding Judge Stuart Wilson, including questions of judicial impartiality, disclosure and recusal in immigration-related matters.
I’m sending it to:
—Judicial Service Commission
—Judicial Conduct Committee
—Parliament’s Justice & Constitutional Development Committee
I’m making the template available for anyone who shares these concerns to copy, personalise and submit independently.
Template + submission details below 👇🏾

There’s nothing in Judge Wilson’s judgment that is not in line with what the @ConCourtSA said in a judgment from July 2026.
In any event, there’s no such thing as an “investigation into potential apparent bias”.

❗️❗️The Glenlivet ad promoting alcohol using our women struggle heroes of 1956 is unacceptable!! 😡
The hypocrisy of Glenlivet promoting their brand using the women of 1956, when the voices of women were excluded at NEDLAC for the 2016 Draft Liquor Amendment Bill - which proposed new restrictions on harmful alcohol advertising - because of alcohol businesses’ lobbying.
Glenlivet’s parent company Pernod Ricard, is a paying member of the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa (@CGCSA1) who successfully lobbied at NEDLAC to stop laws that could have helped stop our current alcohol crisis.
Big business bullies need to stay out of our democracy!!

[MARIKANA] This week, 14 years ago, miners at then-Lonmin mine embarked on a strike demanding a living wage of R12,500 and improved living & working conditions. By 16 August 2012, 44 people had lost their lives, but 14 years later, there is still no #JusticeforMarikana.

'At a time when xenophobia and Afrophobia continue to fracture communities across the continent, iPhupho L'ka Biko asks us to look deeper. Beyond headlines, political rhetoric and easy answers lies a more difficult question: how did African people become strangers to one another on their own continent?
What happens when people inherit freedom without justice, democracy without dignity and liberation without economic freedom? What happens when a nation promises belonging but leaves millions searching for work, security and purpose? It is within this tension that Africa for Africans: Our Sankara Oath finds its voice.
Drawing inspiration from the revolutionary ideas of Thomas Sankara, alongside the musical legacies of Bra Hugh Masekela and Mam Miriam Makeba, Africa for Africans: Our Sankara Oath interrogates the historical, political and economic forces that continue to shape how Africans see themselves and each other. Through music, spoken word, improvisation and critical reflection, the ensemble explores the fractures left behind by colonialism, apartheid, displacement, inequality and the unfinished project of African liberation.
Known for confronting the questions many would rather avoid, iPhupho L'ka Biko has established itself as a vital cultural voice in South Africa's contemporary landscape.
The ensemble ventures into the spaces where history remains unresolved, where collective memory is contested and where society is often encouraged to look away. Their work gives expression to the concerns, contradictions, hopes and frustrations of ordinary people becoming both witness and conscience in times of uncertainty.
Rather than reducing complex social realities to slogans, Africa for Africans: Our Sankara Oath creates space for honest engagement with the conditions that produce division across the continent. It asks audiences to consider not only the tensions between Africans, but also the systems that continue to profit from those tensions.
This is an evening of fearless music, political inquiry and collective reflection. A call to remember that African liberation has always been a shared project and that the future of the continent depends on our ability to see one another not as competitors, outsiders or threats but as part of a common destiny. ' @UntitledBaseme2
Let love lead, not hate. We shall uphold Our Sankara Oath.
