A list of puns related to "South African Constitutional Court"
The police minister has confirmed that Zuma will be arrested by force if he doesn't present himself to begin his jail term.
It seems the constitutional order is prevailing.
EDIT: To be clear, he is being arrested for failing to appear before the commission investigating the massive corruption that went on in the last decade (i.e. during his term). It was so massive that we coined a word for it - 'State Capture'.
(1) S v Makwanyane [1995]
First judgement of the Consitutional Court in post-apartheid South Africa declaring the death penalty to be unconstitutional. Further, this case was the ConCourt's first opportunity to interpret provisions of our brand new Constitution.
the common law definition of marriage and section 30(1) of the Marriage Act of 1961 declared inconsistent with the Constitution. The Court found that the failure of the common law and the Marriage Act to provide the means whereby same-sex couples can enjoy the same status, entitlements and responsibilities accorded to heterosexual couples through marriage constitutes an unjustifiable violation of their rights.
(3) Minister of Health and Others v Treatment Action Campaign and Others [2002]
The SA government maintained a stance that HIV did not necessarily cause AIDS and therefore the government did not need to make anti-retrovirals available in clinics. The Treatment Action Campaign challenged the Govt in the ConCourt and won, forcing the Govt to make anti-retrovirals available to the public in clinics throughout the country- saving millions of lives.
(4) Government of the Republic of South Africa and Others v Grootboom and Others [2001]
The respondents had been evicted from their informal homes situated on private land earmarked for formal low-cost housing. The court held that the state was obliged to take positive action to meet the needs of those living in extreme conditions of poverty, homelessness or intolerable housing. The interconnectedness of the rights and the Constitution as a whole had to be taken into account in interpreting the socio-economic rights and, in particular, in determining whether the state had met its obligations in terms of them.

##government will establish a new "Arm-Almast" CSJC diamond company to boost processing and exports
Official: it's for developing the strategically important diamond business, promoting exports to EAEU and third countries, attracting investments for future expansion, and to find new cooperation avenues with Russia's "Alrosa" diamond giant.
This will allow annual diamond exports to reach $150M. The field will employ 5,000 people with 20-25 large manufacturers. //
Report: if the company with state participation imports the raw materials and distributes them to local firms, it will address several issues, such as maintaining the principle of equality between firms with different capacities.
Russian Alrosa supported the idea of dealing with a state company. The creation of this new company is being done for that purpose. It will act as a consolidating structure:
The company signs agreements with Armenian diamond firms. The company helps the firms by organizing inspections of raw materials in Russian Alrosa.
After the inspection phase, if a purchase agreement is reached, the firms transfer the payments to the company, which then deals with Russian Alrosa to finalize the purchase process.
If the firms use these services, they will pay a fee to Arm-Almast. The amount will be decided by the company board, consisting of industry members including those from diamond firms. //

> After public anger at the display of the flag, the Nelson Mandela Foundation applied for an order declaring "Gratuitous display" of the flag as hate speech, unfair discrimination and harassment based on race.
> "It is determined that the display of the old national flag of South Africa ... constitutes hate speech in terms of 10.1 of the equality act... unfair discrimination on the basis of race. and harassment," said Judge Phineas Mojapelo.
> The 'Apartheid Flag' comprises horizontal blue, white and orange bands with three small flags - of Britain, the Orange Free State and the South African Republic - in the middle.
> In his ruling, Mojapelo said the order did not ban display of the flag outright, but confined it to artistic and journalistic displays, whose merits could be challenged in court.
> The adoption of South Africa's new flag was followed by the adoption of a constitution with laws dealing explicitly with the racism and discrimination that had characterized the country for centuries.
