CONSTITUTIONAL COMMENTARY AND EVENTS
ARTICLES AND STATEMENTS
ARTICLE: REGULATING RELIGION: IS THERE A CASE?
Freedom of religion, belief and opinion, in addition to freedom of association, are embedded in the Bill of Rights and serve as valuable constitutional rights.
ARTICLE: NINE MONTHS IN – THE RAMAPHOSA REPORT CARD
Friday, November 16, will mark exactly nine months since President Ramaphosa delivered his maiden speech in Parliament. Amid non-stop news, it is perhaps good to take a quiet moment and to evaluate how the “new dawn” looks after nine months (and it was perhaps just as exhausting as a difficult pregnancy!).
On 16 February, the new President made a number of commitments to the representatives of South Africa’s people (and thereby to all of us). Some of these were commitments that were already in the works under former Cabinet members, and others were clearly his own. In many cases, he placed his own stamp on these commitments.
STATEMENT: FW DE KLERK FOUNDATION WELCOMES RESIGNATION OF MALUSI GIGABA
The FW de Klerk Foundation welcomes the decision by Minister of Home Affairs, Malusi Gigaba, to resign with immediate effect (as we have argued on 2 November). Amid mounting charges of having lied under oath, violating the Constitution and being found to be in contravention of the Executive Members’ Ethics Act by the Public Protector, Minister Gigaba leaves Cabinet under a very dark cloud.
