On behalf of the African National Congress, I would like to wish all South Africans a blessed and festive Easter. Easter is a time where we reflect on our spiritual journeys and reconnect with our Christian foundations. As we travel to our homes and churches may we do so safely and cognisant of the rules of the road so we may arrive alive.

INTERNATIONAL RULING AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA IN THE BOEREMAG CASE The International Commission of Jurists for Human Rights in Geneva has found that South Africa, as well as the trial court, violated several basic trial rights of the accused in the Boeremag case. According to the ruling, the state did not comply with international standards for a fair trial, and the Republic of South Africa is now obliged to provide redress and compensation to the applicants within 180 days. The commission further emphasizes that: - The state must provide an effective remedy to those whose rights were violated; - Steps must be taken to prevent similar violations in the future; - The ruling must be made public and widely disseminated. This decision places South Africa under international pressure to account for its handling of the Boeremag case and the protection of fundamental rights.

🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.
