SA will pay dearly for rewarding suits who reward party loyalty instead of upholding the constitution
Fairness. The word is fast losing all meaning in South African politics. My dictionary defines it as “treating people equally or in a way that is right or reasonable”. You don’t need a law professor to tell you something stinks in our state of delusion. If a lesser party had missed the deadline for registering its candidates for the election, would the IEC have thrown that minor political entity a lifeline? You know the answer.
The question that should keep us awake is one of fairness. With this rushed action it is crystal clear to the public that our government does not treat all citizens fairly. If you are politically connected you get special treatment, whether as an individual or a party. I do not want to hear another politician tell us what a great constitution we have. It is a meaningless document unless the values of the constitution are seen to be upheld when it comes to all of us, big and small.
