When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am your God – Leviticus 19:33-34.
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit – Ephesians 2:19-22.
I have been rather critical of the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) in the past and have argued that it has not always embraced the values of the Constitution and the changes the advent of the new Constitution requires in our legal culture. But in recent years the SCA has improved and I was therefore surprised by the ANC resolution to downgrade this court.
Here is my take on this matter published in the Mail & Guardian on Friday.
