The Adonisi and Others v Minister for Transport and Public Works, Western Cape and Others matter, widely known as the Tafelberg site case, takes its name from the first applicant, Mam Thozama Adonisi.
The Constitutional Court is expected to hand down judgment on Thursday, 2 July, at 10:00. The case has become one of South Africa's most significant legal battles over the use of well-located public land, affordable housing, and the state's obligation to redress spatial apartheid.
At the heart of the case is Mam Thozama Adonisi, whose story has come to represent the lived reality of thousands of working-class Capetonians forced to live far from opportunities because of apartheid's spatial legacy.
Watch archive video of Mam Thozama Adonisi sharing her story.
So. We have confirmation that Starlink is a client of Resolve. This means that the former Leader of the DA, facilitated a meeting with a prospective “tender” applicant which resulted in the Minister beginning changing rules to fit the requirements of said “bidder.”
That, my dears is corruption.
i’m the first to call out South Africa’s Indian & Coloured Muslim communities when it is warranted but what we are not going to do is demonize all Muslims (including Black Muslims) in ways that align with Islamophobic campaigning from that genocidal apartheid state & its friends
I’ve been reading a lot about Simon Nkoli of late. His coming out as gay during his imprisonment as part of the Delmas 22 in the 80s helped shift the ANC & broader liberation movement’s stance on discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. By the 90s, he & others lobbied directly for its constitutional protection, and it was. We do not honour him enough for the intersectionality of his anti-Apartheid work, and the need for the protection of human rights to continue to be thus.
Researchers at Columbia University have developed modular robots that can adapt, repair, and even rebuild themselves using a concept called robot metabolism. 🤖
Instead of remaining fixed, these robots can detach, reconnect, and reorganize their own structure based on the task or environment.
If one part is damaged, the system can replace or rearrange itself rather than stopping completely.
This could reshape the future of disaster response, industrial automation, and even space exploration.
The idea of robots that evolve instead of wear out is becoming more than science fiction.
What real-world application do you think will benefit most from this technology?

You allowed this to happen for too long. From taxi drivers deciding that e-hailing drivers, friends and relatives could not transport people, to this. Videos of non-state actors "enforcing" their jungle law on South African streets have been circulating for so long. These actors were proud of their "law enforcement" and actually recorded it. You and your government were spectators. It is a sign that you were absent or too scared to face the backlash should you act against South Africans breaking the law. It doesn't matter how valid grievances are, NO STATE should quietly watch a parallel state emerge, with non-state actors deciding who belongs snd who doesn't, who must live or die. Your government, led by you, did that.
If u trace th history of South Africa's HIV/AIDS response, u'll find we have arrived at this moment becos an NGO dared to take govt to court,to force it to fulfill is CONSTITUTIONAL obligation to provide life-saving medication. Today,those same NGOs &Constitution are under attack
Crazy how sex offenders registry is still not public. It was supposed to be made public on the 28th of February 2026. 1 year and 3 months later and ✨Nothing✨
Cape Town DOES NOT need Mowbray Golf Course, which sits across the road from Rondebosch Golf Course.
The City MUST build 7000 homes and a train and bus station in Mowbray.
Abolish all golf courses there!

It’s the Human Rights Commission. Human rights, not citizen rights. Not human minus foreigners; not even human minus illegal immigrants. Simply, human rights. And its mandate is to promote and protect human rights within SA. You may not like it, but everyone has HUMAN rights.
Any single thing that we as people allow ourselves to stomach that infringes on the human rights and the human dignity of others is only a stencil waiting to be used on the “social groups” we do fall under. It doesn’t make you safe, just in waiting.
Tribalism against Tsonga and Venda people is treated the same way white people treat racism. It seems like we’re being dramatic when we speak about it, like it’s non existent while we are living in the reality of it every day.
