The South African Human Rights Commission has responded to a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling on the binding nature of its recommendations. The case involved a complaint by farm occupiers who were denied access to water. The Commission found rights violations and directed the farm owners to restore water access, but the owners refused.

The Commission is now considering its next steps, including a possible appeal to the Constitutional Court.
