Helen Suzman Foundation getting their gloves off.

Instead of addressing the root of the problem, this government continue to introduce piecemeal measures that merely scratch the surface while buying time.

During discussions on a submission proposing that the Constitution’s provision that “everyone has the right to healthcare” be amended, UDM questioned why access to healthcare and other state-provided benefits for non-citizens cannot be framed as a privilege rather than a constitutional right.

Parliament’s legal adviser responded that healthcare is a basic right.

“It’s unacceptable that illegal immigrants enjoy equal rights as citizens”

@MkhontoweSizwex pushes back on legal opinion on RIGHTS of Illegal Immigrants vs Citizens.

Should South Africa’s Constitution be rewritten to place citizens first?

The @EFFSouthAfrica says no.

Their submission argues that South Africa cannot isolate itself from the international community.

The legal advice before the Constitutional Review Committee: reject the proposed amendment to the Preamble.

“Restricting informal trading exclusively to citizens would amount to a violation of human dignity,” the legal advisor to the Constitutional Review Committee stated yesterday.

“Some amendments proposed by the public are unconstitutional.”

Apparently, we are not supposed to rewrite the Constitution but only amend it. 😂

Today’s discussion raised an interesting question: if certain provisions cannot be touched because they have already been interpreted or ruled on by the Constitutional Court, then what exactly is the purpose of this review process?

Surely one of the reasons people propose amendments is to clarify wording, close loopholes, and remove ambiguities that have led to interpretations they disagree with.

We were told that provisions such as “every child has a right to education” are rooted in international instruments, including the 1951 UN Convention, and therefore cannot simply be changed.

The @EFFSouthAfrica representative argued that South Africa cannot isolate itself from the international community and must remain aligned with its international obligations.

@Mngxitama2 then posed a question that many South Africans may be asking: if public submissions can be dismissed as unconstitutional and rejected by the legal team, what is the actual purpose of the Constitutional Review Committee? He argued that it cannot be correct for the concerns and proposals of citizens to be set aside on that basis alone.

A fair question remains: if some parts of the Constitution are effectively beyond the reach of public amendment proposals, what exactly are South Africans being invited to review?

SANRAL IS BEING EXPOSED

I told you last month about the CORRUPTION at SANRAL.

I’m happy mainstream media is now about to start exposing the mess there.

Tenders get given to friends, & white companies. BILLIONS have been LOOTED.

CEO of @SANRAL_za Reginald Lavhelesani Demana HAS A CASE TO ANSWER.

[Princy Mthombeni @Princymthombeni]

ANNOUNCEMENT:

@ParliamentofRSA finally breaks its silence. We welcome the engagement and the upcoming Constitutional Review Committee proceedings tomorrow.

However, South Africans deserve full transparency on what happened to their submissions and what comes next.

As things stand, plans to pursue legal action remain unchanged.

If you see how a UAE recently "leased" land (for decades) the size of the UK in Zim, you realize it is not just Europeans. It's Americans, Europeans, Middle easterners and Asians.

The billionaires and the companies. Not the average citizens. If people think the Epstein class cares about the nationality of who they "did business" with, then they do not understand the world we live in.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is facing widespread criticism in Israel for holding off on striking Beirut's southern suburbs from both within his cabinet and his opponents. They say Netanyahu is letting President Trump dictate terms.

“Talk to us about lowering personal income tax and taxing multinationals. Then we shall stand here and say, ‘Oh, the African in the African National Congress is alive — it has come back. So we’ll support you.’ At the moment, you are running a National Congress the African is dead, so we can’t support this.” MK Party MP Dr. Khanyisile Litchfield Tshabalala
