Such traditions that are culturally embedded in the white, male, Afrikaans culture and history, which are the basis of the Nagligte traditions, do not foster inclusion of other groups that must now form the new majority of the SU student body. Wilgenhoffers do not seem to appreciate the negative impact of their culture and rituals on the personal rights of certain individuals. This is because they elevate belonging to the Wilgenhof group above the rights of the individual.
Just heard the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) has found against the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) in both cases dealing with their handling of the complaints of Judge President John Hlophe and the judges of the Constitutional Court. The case has to be re-opened. Anyone with copies of the judgements, please send them to me!
