Natural Resource Sovereignty and the Right to Development in Africa
Covid-19 and the Violation of the Right to Basic Education of Learners with Disabilities in South Africa
This article explores the extent to which the right to basic education of learners with disabilities in South Africa was guaranteed during the COVID-19 pandemic. It uses the Centre for Child Law v Minister of Basic Education ( Centre for Child Law ) as the main canvas for discussion. It argues that, notwithstanding its normative compliance with the international regime of the right to an inclusive basic education, the government has failed learne…
Regional Integration and Migration in Africa
This comparative book debates migration and regional integration in the two regional economic blocs, namely the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The book takes a historical and nuanced citizenship approach to integration by analysing regional integration from the perspective of non-state actors and how they negotiate various structures and institutions in their pursuit for l…
The Right to Development in the African Human Rights System
The right to development (RTD) seeks to address global inequities hidden in world politics and global institutions through the game of influences played by powerful actors. The negative impacts of the Atlantic slave trade, colonialism, and the subjugation of Africa through globalisation and its institutions are key factors that have caused Africa and African people claiming their RTD. This book examines how the African continent protects the righ…
Realizing the right to development
From its inception into the human rights discourse, the right to development (RTD) has been contentious. Nevertheless, as result of various activities including the adoption of the UN Declaration on it, the RTD is now “a fait accompli.” This article reflects on what should be done for its effective realization and sustainability. The article finds that at the national level, states should adopt constitutionalism characterized by separation of pow…
Broken Promises
Swaziland's Constitution of 2005 promised that every Swazi child would have the right to free primary school education, within three years of the constitution coming into operation. That date having passed, a civil society group took the matter to court. The case initially fared well, but in a subsequent application for performance on the original order, the court balked at making an immediately enforceable order, citing lack of resources as an o…
Disability rights in South Africa
Since time immemorial, persons with disabilities have been victims of systemic discrimination and South Africa is no exception. In addressing the problem, the South African government adopted the 1
The Principle of Equality, Legal Aid and Transformative Constitution in South Africa
The principle of equality is at the centre of the South African Constitution, which aims to establish an egalitarian society. As shown by the empowering nature of the jurisprudence of the South African Constitutional Court, the latter plays an important role in giving effect to socio-economic rights. Yet, the poor have no legal aid, and therefore no access to court especially in civil matters through which their socio-economic rights can be addre…
The Right to Basic Sanitation
In Africa, sanitation remains one of the most important developmental challenges that is not adequately addressed. In many countries, though sanitation is fundamental to human well-being, there is no recognition in the Constitution of a fundamental right to basic sanitation. Legislation and policies often govern the area and the question arises as to whether this offers sufficient protection for the interests involved. This article calls for an e…
