KwaZulu-Natal 2025: One Week That Shook a Province and May Re-write National Law

by

KwaZuluNatal province just had a wild week of inspections! Officials zoomed around, checking out good and bad building projects. They saw amazing new taxi ranks and roads, but also found empty, crumbling houses and schools with no roofs. Now, KZN is making tough new laws, like making sure 8% of money always goes to fixing things and giving projects ‘readiness certificates.’ They even plan to put officials on the spot every 90 days. This big shakeup could change laws for the whole country, all to make sure money is spent right and communities get what they were promised.

Law Reform in South Africa: Strengthening Democracy Through the South African Law Reform Commission

by

The South African Law Reform Commission (SALRC) plays a key role in making sure the country’s laws match the values of the Constitution. It reviews old, unfair laws from the apartheid era and works to create fairer rules that protect everyone’s rights. By involving the public and using expert knowledge, the SALRC helps build a stronger democracy where justice, equality, and progress can grow. It also looks ahead to new challenges like technology, making sure laws stay fair and up to date in a changing world.
