Since our constitutional rights are being violated, can we have a tax rebate?

Nope, but this is going to show us all how the constitution we hold dear is very useful ... because it can serve as toilet paper.

As an outsider, Nah it's not going to happen. Why did it take courts so long to come to this conclusion? Yet no person is held accountable for this or is in jail? They generators from the Chinese are not going make a diff either. It needs petrol, somehow your Gov needs to buy it. I don't know anything about rolling blackouts, but do know that it makes a hellavu dent in an economy. Left years before it started.

So loadshedding is unconstitutional. Now what? Is Eskom going to magically generate more electricity?

Ask ActionSA, BOSA and IFP. They seem to be the experts by taking them to court.

I don't click on them light switches, I just follow the discourse afterwards. Usually enough is said.
Also, being a business like that's an excuse.
 
So wait, regardless of how criminal we know loadshedding is, if it is unconstitutional, howcome when the government declared loadshedding a national state of disaster and exempted The same places, it was also found unconstitutional... So what is constitutional? I just wonder, can someone please explain it to me...

The constitution is unconstitutional.
 
The cheek of Minister Pravin Gordan to downplay the situation by referring to rights "ventilated" where it is clear to all South Africans and stated by court that it is "violated". Shameless and taking no responsibility.

Question: When do we reach the point where the ruling government is ousted for continuously failing in its constitutional and statutory duties?
 
im wondering what difference this will make, the ANC uses the constitution to clean its shoes,
already proved many times they dont care about laws and rules, will just bulldoze changes by force soon enough.

Bring me my machine gun if ANC wins again next year.
 
It doesn't matter how many court rulings there are to declare x, y and z unconstitutional, if the rulings have no hope in hell of being enforced.

Similarly, injunctions against striking employees to "prevent" them from committing what are already crimes, that comes down to SAPS not doing the jobs they are supposed to be doing.

Rather drag SAPS to court and highlight exactly how SAPS is doing nothing to uphold and enforce existing laws.

As for ministers being taken to court, they don't give a crap, but go after the cANCer putty that those ministers represent and you quickly see that you've touched a few raw nerves.

The court already provided a loophole. "Reasonable effort".
 
Hogsback SAPS were attacked and robbed this past Thursday night during loadshedding.
Police Vehicle, Firearms and Uniform were stolen.
Vehicle has since been recovered.
