Mandela disrupted an international order that had become comfortable with injustice. And perhaps that is the Mandela we most need today.

We often celebrate reconciliation as though it were Mandela’s defining gift. It was not. Justice was. Reconciliation was never his starting point, it was his destination. His starting point was justice.” — Redi Tlhabi

The truth is that around 79% of South Africans have never received any formal civic education. That means many people vote based on instinct, family tradition, identity, social media, or the occasional interaction with a public representative. To be fair, that interaction can cut both ways,sometimes people meet their representative and decide they’ll never vote for that party again.

Last week, at one of our community civic education workshops, I asked participants a few questions.

Almost everyone knew the answers to these:

Who beat Bafana Bafana last Sunday?
Who is the leader of March and March?
Who is the actor who plays Jonasi in The Polygamist?
Who is Mihali Ndamase?

Then I asked:

Who elects the President?
What’s the difference between a ward councillor and a PR councillor?
Who pays an MP’s salary?
How much does a councillor earn?
What does the Speaker of a municipality actually do?

Silence. Or confidently incorrect answers.

I do this exercise often, and the pattern is remarkably consistent.

The average South African simply hasn’t been given enough civic education to fully understand the democratic system they’re participating in. Until we fix that, many people will continue to vote based on biases, echo chambers, inherited loyalties, misinformation, or educated guesses.

And it’s not just MK supporters. It’s not just ANC, DA, EFF, ActionSA or anyone else. It’s all of us.

The irony is that many voters have already decided who they’ll support months before manifestos are even released. That alone tells us that policy is often not what determines electoral choices.

Democracy doesn’t just require the right to vote. It requires citizens who understand what they’re voting for, how government works, and how to hold those in power accountable.

If we want better governance, we have to invest in better civic education.

This is one of the most significant housing judgments in South Africa's democratic history.

The court ruled that location matters constitutionally. Government cannot fulfil its housing obligations by building on cheap peripheral land far from economic opportunity. When disposing of well-located public land, it must actively consider affordable housing for those excluded from amenity-rich areas.

The Western Cape provincial government, South Africa's best-governed province by most documented measures, has been placed under detailed court supervision. It must submit housing plans to the High Court within three months and report regularly on progress.

Here is what that judgment means beyond Sea Point.

The same constitutional obligation applies to every municipality in South Africa. The same Section 26 right to housing. The same constitutional duty to reverse apartheid's spatial geography. The same obligation to consider location when disposing of public land.

163 municipalities have collapsed under ANC governance. Tenders for housing awarded to politically connected companies whose projects were never completed. Well-located public land sold through opaque processes to cadre-connected developers.

Communities still waiting for housing promised in 1994.

The Tafelberg precedent is the legal instrument that can challenge all of it.

What needs to happen is precise and documented.

Civil society organisations, community groups, and accountability institutions need to identify specific municipalities. Name them, document their housing failures, document their disposal of well-located public land, and bring applications citing the Tafelberg precedent.

The ConCourt has opened the door.
Someone needs to walk through it.

The Western Cape government spent 10 years under litigation pressure before yesterday's judgment. The collapsed municipalities have spent 32 years under no equivalent pressure at all.

That imbalance is not a legal inevitability.

It is a political choice that the Tafelberg precedent has now made contestable.

You guys sure fall for organised misinformation campaigns EASILY. You’re easily to rile up, you’re easy to manipulate, you’re easy to rally to fight against your interests, you don’t question anything… Yoh! Le mathatheng!

We are gonna have to do this a million times but do it we shall:

Busisiwe Mkhwebane was impeached by the South African National Assembly primarily for misconduct and incompetence during her tenure as Public Protector.

The impeachment process followed a Section 194 parliamentary inquiry, which found that she had:

Repeatedly violated the Constitution.
Conducted investigations improperly.
Acted in bad faith in several high-profile matters.
Failed to understand and apply the law correctly.
Misused her office in ways that courts repeatedly criticised.

A major factor was the extraordinarily high number of adverse court judgments against her. South African courts — including the Constitutional Court — on multiple occasions found her conduct to be irrational, unlawful, biased, or procedurally unfair.

Some of the key matters cited included:

The matter, where the Constitutional Court personally ordered costs against her for acting in bad faith.
Her investigation into the so-called “rogue unit” at SARS.
Findings relating to the CR17 campaign investigation involving Cyril Ramaphosa.
Failures in procedural fairness and evidence handling across several investigations.

Importantly, she was not impeached because of Phala Phala or because she investigated Ramaphosa. The impeachment inquiry had already been underway long before the Phala Phala controversy emerged.

Parliament voted in September 2023 to remove her from office after the inquiry concluded that she was unfit to hold office under Section 194 of the Constitution.

Los alto al fuego siempre son una buena noticia. Sobre todo si conducen a una paz justa y duradera. Pero el alivio momentáneo no puede hacernos olvidar el caos, la destrucción y las vidas perdidas.

El Gobierno de España no aplaudirá a quienes incendian el mundo porque se presenten con un cubo.

Lo que toca ahora: diplomacia, legalidad internacional y PAZ.
