The matter of Legal practice v Bhayat is one of those matters wherein we get to see a critically acclaimed series come to life in reality. If you have watched the series SUITS, then you will already know what this is about. During the reading of this judgment, i realized something. Lies travel fast, they move arround distorting reality, thats why they move so faster, but the truth travels further. In time, the truth is bound to catch us with lies. And when that happens, the d

In part two of the Hate Speech series have commenced our exploration already, we look into a more recent more popular culture legal judgment to help us understand Hate Speech further. The Qwelane judgement is the blueprint and the father of hate speech jurisprudence in South Africa. So best believe, close to every hate speech judgment will make reference to it. Our focus on part two shift to a matter that involves two characters, who have a cult following, not because of thei

"I WRITE WHAT I LIKE" A quote famously associated with the hero, the late Steve Biko. There is a book i am set to read which fell on my lap during the readings for this writing called "I write what i like" which is a book displays to the reader the writings of Mr Steve Biko. I use this quote as the begining of this piece because its represents perfectly the subject of todays topic. "I write what i like" is the perfect explaination of what freedom of expression means. I read t

This Time piece comes as a result of my woke this morning, 20 March 2026 and for some reason i wondered about TIME. Now dating back to a TIME during my University period of existence, i have always had this fascination with time. Ofcourse i blame interstellar for that because that movie ignited a degree of curiosity in me towards the sciences, specifically TIME. My mother has always told me that i am a perfectionist and she has always brought it to my attention that thats som

unGavumi the imposition of another views on you. Do your research, get on your own readings and decide for yourself what your reality is. Decide for yourself what your beliefs are. Decide for yourself what matters for you and to you. On default settings, Nothings matters, no one knows anything. Allowing imposition of views onto yourself from formulators of views who Know Nothing themselves about matters that dont matter, is a recipe for self identity confusion, an igredient f

A Writing to the Constitutional Court For me, writing has always begun with the personal. Whether it’s a legal brief or a creative essay, my entry point is almost always my own experience or connection to the topic. During his 2020 Academy Award acceptance speech for Best Director, Bong Joon-ho shared a sentiment that resonated deeply with me: "The most personal is the most creative." He attributed this insight to the legendary Martin Scorsese, a lesson that shaped his own m

This case remains one of the most pivotal socio-economic rights judgments in South Africa, testing the boundaries of the state's obligation to provide basic services and the judiciary's role in enforcing these rights. 1. The Facts The applicants were five poor residents living in Phiri, Soweto. During the apartheid era, water was supplied to black townships like Soweto on a "deemed consumption" flat-rate basis. However, the piping infrastructure was corroded, resulting in mas

"This." That is the first word on a blank A4 page. Anyone who writes continuously will tell you that the first word is the hardest, but also the most vital. It’s the spark. Today, I want to express my gratitude for that simple word: "This." Because with "This," I can finally begin to show you what this is all about. This is about a battle. It’s a conflict happening right now within the "decision sphere" of every human being. Inside that sphere, we find what Daniel Kahneman—t

The great and talented wordsmith, artist Mick Jenkins once said "Water more important than the gold People for the gold Everybody do it for the gold People save your souls Thank God for the waters, waters Thank God for the waters, waters Thank God ". I always appreciate when these writings lead us to a path wherein we get to combine what we are writing about with the shit we like. I did not know before putting the first word on paper that, this Mick Jenkins Albums- The Waters

This interest in the subject we are exploring today, stems from conversations, thoughts about the curse of genuis and the moral connundrum of seperating the artist from the art. I was reading a book by Claire Dederer called Monsters: A fan Dilemma. Essentially the book explores that theme seperating the artist from the art. I recollect a passage wherein Claire, the author was battling whether should she carry on consuming the master pieces of Roman Polanski. Whether the henio

Its been a long awaited draft regulation for the smokers of cannibis. It was one thing for it to be decriminalized for private purpose use. Its another thing to want to know whether would i get the book thrown at me should i be caught being in possession of a bankie. From my experience with how cannibis smoking was engaged with after the Prince judgment, i could say that smokers really figured it was legal. As in, we can smoke it anywhere, and we buy it at malls so that means

I imagine, after 57 blog posts, you’ve probably realized that I consume a lot of movies. One would think I’m a cinephile who studied film—a total cinema geek who knows my angles, lighting, and the technicalities of the art. Honestly? I just enjoy watching cool shit, good shit, great shit, and even bad shit. Watching genuinely terrible movies might actually be my guilty pleasure. I respect someone doing something, no matter how "terrible" it is, and putting it out there becaus

Weeee Oe, Uyashisa umdoko. The block is hot as they would say emalokshini waseMelica. This here writing is one of those which has everything we like, well let me speak for myself, everything i like- A mazza, firing of semi-automatic firearms and an ignorant intelligent brazo. Therfore it was an easy write for me write. "Ohhhhh man, ohhhh man, i love you Juju"- the bag was deep from Zake Batwini and Black Coffee on that record. You remember my trifecta of shit i like- "a mazza

The Context: A Behind-the-Scenes Look You must have noticed by now that before we get into the nitty-gritty of things, I like to provide context—a sort of "behind the scenes" look at how the writing actually came about. We are reading this today because on the 30th of January 2026, I came home from work and immediately started having problems with the internet connection in my bedroom. I was about to start my work process, but I got stifled by the lack of a connection. Yes, i

I chose the dandelion as the primary image for this blog because of the children who stay constantly in my thoughts. My heart holds onto the deepest faith that they are now in the most peaceful of places—a place where they laugh, smile, and are surrounded by warmth and love. I can imagine they might feel a sense of sadness when they look down and see the pain their parents carry, but I believe that from their place beside God, they have become angels themselves. They are now

First and foremost, we pay homage to the legend, Paul Walker, who immortalized the character of Brian O’Conner. While Tokyo Drift might take the top spot for some, 2 Fast 2 Furious remains an all-time classic. Today, we aren't just reminiscing about the film; we are using O’Conner—a character who drove fast, drove well, and left everyone else in the rearview—as our case study. Given that today’s topic sits at the intersection of high speed and the law, there is no better fa

The first point of engagement with the state is through municipality. It is therefore imperative that residence understand their Municipality, their obligation towards abahlali of am area the Municipality serves and have a working knowledge on how to ensure that the Municipality is servicing the residents needs effectively, ofcourse within the resources available. And by available i do not mean available after funds have been chopped and screwed, but resources fully available

Let’s return to our traditions and examine the recently drafted Traditional Courts Regulations and Code of Conduct , which have been released for public comment. These documents are set to govern the operations and functions of Traditional Courts. It is essential that we remember our position and existence in society as "sons and daughters of the soil." We must never forget our heritage; therefore, it is vital that we actively participate in the legislative processes regardin

The date is January 3rd, 2026. I am in my room, sitting in front of my computer, hoping that a solution to fixing all my life’s problems will suddenly click in my brain. I’m waiting for that moment when I finally have a plan of action and a clear direction of where my life is supposed to go. So, I read different stuff, write different stuff, and watch different stuff, all with the hope that an idea will pop into my mind and finally chart the course to my life’s ultimate goal.

Executive Summary On January 3, 2026, the geopolitical architecture of the Western Hemisphere underwent a seismic shift with the execution of "Operation Absolute Resolve." This unilateral military operation, authorized by the President of the United States and executed by elite elements of the US Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), resulted in the forcible extraction of Nicolás Maduro Moros, the de facto President of Venezuela, and his wife, Cilia Flores, from the Miraf
