This feeling is familiar. My body remembers when the news of Uyinene came out. We were preparing for September test week and incredibly anxious - something was wrong. I have a bad feeling and I know other women feel it too 💔. A collective mourning. A collective pain.
Again, new restrictions for women without actually addressing the PEOPLE doing this.
Someone commented on her post saying “why was she running at that time, it’s dark around that time”. Why should women have curfews? Being a woman is such a violent experience 😔.
Politicians are complaining that having to vote every two years makes it difficult to govern, especially with coalitions.
We should hear them out.
They’re always in campaign-mode so it practically makes it difficult to comprise and build consensus in government.

This is why the Human Rights Commission exist, for EVERYONE ( notice: I didn’t say citizens ) within the borders of South Africa.
It will not be disbanded because uSdumo, uThoko noSisMay think Rights are exclusive to South Africans only, fortified on personal conduct and negotiable on piece of paper.
We thank our great constitution for that; protects us from demagogues
Congratulations to @NdifunaUkwazi, @ReclaimCT , @SERI_RightsSA, the residents, activists, and legal teams who fought tirelessly for this historic victory in the Tafelberg matter.
This landmark judgment affirms that the right to adequate housing is a constitutional imperative!
“The city is the economic lifeline for many South Africans, and spatial inequality hinders transformation by placing constant, immense strain on their daily lives. Therefore, such economic rights are clearly woven into the concept of the right to the city, demonstrating the consequences of such spatial inequality, its pervasive nature and the consequences of insufficient access to adequate housing.”
The Constitutional Court has found the Western Cape government has failed to comply with its obligation to provide affordable housing in areas such as Cape Town CBD and Sea Point.
The failure perpetuates apartheid spatial housing patterns.
