The Constitutional Court has ruled that failed asylum seekers in South Africa do not automatically have the right to submit repeat asylum applications after their first applications were finally rejected.

The case involved two Burundian nationals whose original asylum claims were denied in 2014. They later reapplied in 2018, arguing they had become “sur place” refugees due to worsening political violence in Burundi after they arrived in South Africa.

In a majority judgment, the Constitutional Court found that the Refugees Act does not currently provide a clear legal framework allowing repeat asylum applications after an initial claim has been rejected.

The Court warned that allowing unlimited repeat applications without proper legislation could create a “never-ending cycle” preventing deportations and causing administrative chaos.

The Court therefore overturned the Supreme Court of Appeal ruling that had ordered Home Affairs to consider the new applications.

However, two judges dissented, arguing that denying repeat applications where conditions in a person’s home country have materially worsened could violate the international principle of non-refoulement,
which protects people from being returned to countries where they may face persecution or serious harm.

The majority judgment now stands, meaning repeat asylum applications are not automatically recognised under the current Refugees Act framework.

Spaza Shop Economy!!!

It's a R197 BILLION economy hiding in plain sight. 80% owned or operated by Foreign nationals

And most South Africans have no idea.

Here's the data 👇
💰 R197B turnover (Trade Intelligence, 2025)

📈 15% growth in 2025 — beating Checkers, Pick n Pay & Shoprite (NielsenIQ)

🏪 150,000+ shops nationwide

👥 Visited by 80% of SA's population daily.

The most resilient economic engine in SA isn't a bank or a mall.
It's the shop at the end of your street.

A lawsuit filed in US court claims Meta misled billions of users worldwide into believing their messages were fully private.

Meta can not be trusted.

Julius Malema knew about Malusi Gigaba's arrest. He is asking them what they told him to ask. I feel depressed by just watching him.

"There is one coming" that was just like a small child celebrating sweets.

Warrant Officer Nkosi expressed suspicion during the take down operation at Katiso Molefe's Sandhurst home: why were suspects still at the house hours after the tip-off? “No criminal stays that long—they come, do it, and go.”
