In dark times, should the stars also go out?

[Devi Pillay @pillaydevi]

Briefly reactivating to ask – who is doing some writing/research/thinking about the Madlanga Commission *as a commission*? The Commission itself as object of analysis. Possibly in conversation with previous commissions?

@SW_Help Cheers!

'[Devi] Pillay says: "Parties with high turnover/resignation rates indicate to me that they do not have a stable base from which to draw their party lists, that there are significant in-fighting and internal disagreements, and that they do not have a strong, well-considered strategy for their legislative/oversight agenda."

[Lawson] Naidoo concurs, adding that such a high turnover from one party, this early on, "speaks to the instability within the MK Party".'

@pillaydevi and @LawsonNaidoo @CASACZA will be on the programme tomorrow: What Now Since the Zondo Commission? https://t.co/pshpHMzxWc

@Sussex_SCSC @PARInstitute given me over the years. It is a truly special place to work, and a fantastic community to be a part of. I'm so proud of the work we did (and will continue to do)! I'm happy to report that I am still a research associate - so if we worked together, you'll still see me around :)

[Devi Pillay @pillaydevi]

Some exciting news: I’m starting a new position at the Governance & Integrity Anti-Corruption Evidence (GI-ACE) Programme at @Sussex_SCSC / University of Nottingham! I have loved working at @PARInstitute and I'm so grateful for the incredible opportunities and support PARI has...

Though its tentacles spread far and wide, the most fear abroad of Paul Kagame's repressive regime engulfs exiles and their relatives and friends in neighbouring countries like Uganda. https://t.co/jBZI1FaiH1. #RwandaClassified @FbdnStories @zammagazine @gijnAfrica
