Francesca Visage, UWC, just finished her presentation on "Urban Homeless and Their Right to the City: How Should South African Cities Respond to Homelessness?"

@transcultura @giz_gmbh The Constitution of Mozambique combines federal & unitary features. Self-rule with elected provincial leadership, protected powers, a Constitutional Council to settle disputes & an emphasis on IGR. However, no 2nd Chamber of Parliament to enable shared rule in national lawmaking.
English
@jdevisser @giz_gmbh Are they attracted by something stronger like federalism ?
English
Last week I was privileged to discuss #decentralisation in #Mozambique with 2 groups of super-motivated central government officials, convened by @giz_gmbh and the Ministry of State Administration & Public Service in idyllic Ponta do Ouro.
English
The road ahead is challenging, but decentralisation is firmly entrenched in the 2018 Constitution and offers prospects to deepen democracy, further development and sustain stability in Mozambique. We discussed lessons from South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe & Uganda.

[WATCH] ETV News Interview with @jdevisser
In this interview with @etv, Prof De Visser elaborates on the Gauteng High Court's judgment setting aside the ousting of Dr Mpho Phalatse as Executive Mayor of Johannesburg. youtu.be/fqNSTUJ-1ic
YouTube
English
In essence, the Court said: 'Do what you must, it's politics. But respect the law as you do it.' Even when the Court was urged to overlook procedural mishaps and allow democracy to run its (perhaps inevitable) course, the Court refused. That's important, I think.
English
(1) Great analysis. The victory may be meaningless in the context of the Jhb numbers game. The procedural points are simple. But the Court's scathing finding on the Speaker's 'ulterior motive' are not. It starts a jurisprudence on coalitions:
Gary M Koekemoer@Gary22k
A quick thread on pragmatics of politics in our metros. With DA’s @mphophalatse1 reinstated by a legal victory on procedural grounds, victory will be meaningless if her detractors follow due process & oust her procedurally? Key decider = who has how many seats?
