An overview of the Electricity and Energy Ministry: Selected Issues

Guest: Dr Ugljesa Radulovic is a senior postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg.

In South Africa, the plight of whistle-blowers often gains attention only after tragedy strikes, transforming their names into symbols of resistance and sacrifice. Babita Deokaran, gunned down in 2021, stands as a stark example of this grim reality. Her death, alongside those of others like Jimmy Mohlala and Moss Phakoe, highlights a troubling pattern where whistle-blowers are mourned posthumously rather than supported during their battles against corruption. This phenomenon echoes the narrative of Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, where resistance and rebellion are only recognized through profound loss. Addressing this issue requires a concerted effort from civil society, media, and the public to ensure whistle-blowers receive the recognition and protection they deserve while still alive.

Whistle-blowers need support and solidarity; they should not be recognised only in death

GUEST:  Claudette Dutilleux- Director Dispute Resolution Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr

Enforcing international judgments in South Africa requires navigating a complex legal framework. While the Enforcement of Foreign Civil Judgments Act applies to Namibia, judgments from other countries must meet stringent common law requirements. These include the foreign court’s jurisdiction, finality of the judgment, adherence to natural justice, and compliance with South African public policy. Courts also retain discretion in deciding whether to recognize a foreign judgment, particularly if it conflicts with local laws or constitutional rights. Understanding the process and potential challenges is crucial for ensuring a foreign judgment can be successfully enforced within South Africa's legal system.
