Here are some of the stories of Ireland's youngest ever offenders 🧵 (1)
I will never stop being shocked at how badly the government administers and manages land in South Africa. The simplest tasks like issuing of title deeds and properly recording ownership (both of which can materially transform people's lives) often require decades of struggle. 1/n
Immigration officer asked me to tell them about my research and I was irritated so I told them I’m going to their country to present a paper about how standards in immigration regulation remain one of the few widely-accepted bastions of fascism
"Internal SAPS processes" is not good enough. These police officers need to be prosecuted in open court.
