Briefly reactivating to ask – who is doing some writing/research/thinking about the Madlanga Commission *as a commission*? The Commission itself as object of analysis. Possibly in conversation with previous commissions?

'[Devi] Pillay says: "Parties with high turnover/resignation rates indicate to me that they do not have a stable base from which to draw their party lists, that there are significant in-fighting and internal disagreements, and that they do not have a strong, well-considered strategy for their legislative/oversight agenda." [Lawson] Naidoo concurs, adding that such a high turnover from one party, this early on, "speaks to the instability within the MK Party".' @pillaydevi and @LawsonNaidoo @CASACZA will be on the programme tomorrow: What Now Since the Zondo Commission? pari.org.za/what-now-since-t… news24.com/news24/opinions/a…

given me over the years. It is a truly special place to work, and a fantastic community to be a part of. I'm so proud of the work we did (and will continue to do)! I'm happy to report that I am still a research associate - so if we worked together, you'll still see me around :)
