In the notice to the court which Mapisa-Nqakula filed on Monday, she alleged that Ebersohn made mistakes in just about all his findings.

How does this work, what did she study to tell a judge he did it wrong? Yes we can say we do not agree but hell telling him he doesn't know what he is doing??

This coming from someone who is the head of one of the most corrupt departments in our country? Bwahahahaha

Oh yeah i remember.......... if they can tell doctors HIV doesn't cause aids....... They like teenagers they know everything.

The ANC will do everything in its power to stop the 1million or so white expats from voting. Bloody pathetic...

Why is this an issue? If you don't agree with a court ruling it must be because the judge made a mistake. If you do agree, you'd shut up.

As long as she is respectful of the law she is quite entitled to challenge the ruling.

yup, an frankly, I have no idea why the ANC are so against this, it is not as if all those expats will even bother to vote. A fraction maybe.
'Most' are better suited to mouthing off about SA rather than getting off their arses.

When a judge makes a ruling you do not say he is wrong and made a mistake you appeal and state your case... this was why it was before him in the first place he heard the case made the decision. If your people made a shyty case you made the mistake not the judge.

Can Taliep wife go tell the judge he doesn't know what he is doing and made a mistake on all his rulings do not think so.

 

[Sneeky]

if she has the right to appeal she can say what she wants, rightly or wrongly.

The point is simple, the ANC's opinion is that the judge erred, they will now appeal.
Your opinion is that they put forward a rubbish case, the court of appeal will reassess it all and decide.

Think the whole problem is she is afraid of people with brains voting..

Blacks, coloreds (as people of mixed race are known in South Africa) and Indians are also expressing the desire to leave. In the last 12 years, the number of blacks graduating in South Africa with advanced degrees has grown from 361,000 to 1.4 million a year. (no way!must be checked) But in that time the number of those expressing high hopes to emigrate has doubled.

This wasn't supposed to happen. In many ways, the new South Africa has lived up to its promise of racial harmony and equitable development; its enlightened Constitution, progressive economic policies, and wealth of human and natural resources have all kept it relatively stable since apartheid was swept away in 1994. But that stability could be jeopardized if its human capital keeps leaving at the current rate. http://www.newsweek.com/id/184783

That has always been the ANC's greatest fear.

Well, she can. I am not saying that she can stand on a soap box and proclaim the judge to be an idiot. But she can say 'With all due respect, I believe that the learned judge has made a mistake in his interpretation of the law on the following points....'

I think that sometimes we like to make issues out of non-issues.

However, if she has bluntly said the judge is wrong and is not abiding by the court rulings they can throw her in jail for contempt.

The point here is that they are appealing. In order to appeal you have to pick apart the judges ruling piece by piece in the hope that the constitutional court jusdges will agree with your analysis.

Personally I think that the government will have a hard time fighting this one. If you let one person (and I am not sure if government employees count) who is out of the country for business or pleasure or sport vote then you are discriminating against those that are also out of the country for business but on a longer term contract.

I think that if the government are clever they will change the law to firstly only allow those already on the voters' role to vote. Secondly they will make it that you have to be in the country to register to vote. Third they could even stipulate that you have to prove that you have lived in SA within the last X many years or prove that you have roots in SA ie that you haven't emigrated.

This would substantially reduce the number of people living outside SA that were allowed to vote.

Personally I would like everyone to vote including SA passport holders outside SA and permanent residents inside SA. We all have a stake in the country so we should all be able to have a say in who runs it.

Oke i see your point it could just be bad reporting on what she said.

However, if she has bluntly said the judge is wrong and is not abiding by the court rulings they can throw her in jail for contempt.

We Wish.....
