Thuli Madonsela | Open letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa on Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park
Regarding democratic values, I opined that democracy’s genealogy lies in people’s quest for “nothing about us without us and for us all”.
Regarding human rights, I referenced the Constitution’s section 9 promise of equal enjoyment of all rights and freedoms by all regardless of diversity, and the section 7 injunction to make this happen for all, considering existing disparities, and the duty to respect for all human life and the environment.
Please assure them that they matter and that – in line with the Batho Pele principles and Justice Albie Sachs’ views in PE Municipality v Various Occupiers, as well as Justice Thembile Skweyiya in Joseph v City of Johannesburg – they come first. Immediately summon the premier of KwaZulu-Natal, the MEC and the Ezemvelo leadership to your office to give you a report on what happened since the Ubuntu report.
