Miscellaneous
Elisha, Johan and Dan are joined by Jason Mitchell to bring everyone up to speed on the legal developments around the coronavirus lockdown, including correspondence from the Chief Justice and applications by Hola Bona Foundation and Fair and Equitable Society before touching on the appointment of South Africa's first Solicitor General. Dan, Elisha and Johan then catch everyone up on the latest on the Constitutional Court bench's composition, before looking at some of the Court's recent judgments on union majoritarianism (AMCU II), common purpose and rape (Tshabalala), the privacy of children witnesses in criminal proceedings (Centre for Child Law), the forfeiture of proceeds of crime (Botha), the jurisdiction of the Labour Court (Phillip Morris), union constitutions and membership (Lufil), petroleum and mootness (Normandien), and the ex lege removal and reinstatement of SANDF members (Maswanganyi). They end by previewing the three cases on the ConCourt's role for term two: Sithole, Sibuyi, and Qwelane.
