Former president Thabo Mbeki and former Justice minister Brigitte Mabandla, in their application to intervene in the R167 million in constitutional damages litigation by families of victims of apartheid-era atrocities, argued that it is in the interests of justice that they be allowed to do so. The pair turned to the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, on Monday, during which their counsel, Advocate Ngwako Maenetje SC, argued that it does not matter whether the damages case by the victims and families is not aimed at them. The outcome will still have an impact on them. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with Legal Expert Mpumelelo Zikalala.

Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with, Guitarist, Composer and Bandleader, Billy Monama.

The African National Congress enters this period facing critical questions about its internal cohesion, its public standing and its ability to renew itself as both a political organisation and as the leading party in government.

At the same time, the Government of National Unity continues to demand cooperation, compromise and strategic alignment among parties that have historically been political opponents. The functioning, stability and policy direction of the GNU remain central to the country’s governance and service delivery.

 

And as we move closer to the upcoming local government elections, communities across the country are asking what practical steps are being taken to strengthen municipalities, ensure accountability, improve service delivery and restore confidence in local governance structures.
