Richard Pithouse, South Africa:After the end of our innocence
I have one problem with this article, the statement: ‘Moreover, we are increasingly confronting a state that acts in routine disregard of the law and, at times, the courts. On their own the courts guarantee nothing.’ Certainly on their own courts guarantee nothing, but defending rights where courts can, is surely one of our most important tasks?
