Long live Saflii, long live!! Best friend of legal journalists 😍
SAFLII publishes ALL judgments sent to us from the courts. We don't reject judgments based on reportability or other criteria. If it's not on SAFLII, it's likely that we didn't receive the judgment. Please email us if you know of a judgment or have a copy of it to info@saflii.org

@Pansy_Tlakula: lack of transparency in elections leads to suspicion and mistrust. This can in turn result in violence- threatening peace and security @guyberger @EdetOjo @baglogabriel @ODAC_SA @MukelaniSD

What we think about when we think about #inequality, #data & ownership: Gabriella Razzano on Locke, Marx & Zuckerberg. "The answer to the question of 'Who owns it?' also answers the question 'Who holds the power?'" https://t.co/2IY3G5VvYK
