I am very concerned by the arbitrary detention of WHRD Tanele Maseko & her family members in #Eswatini yesterday. She is currently being interviewed by police. This follows the murder of her husband HRD Thulani Maseko in 2023. The harassment of Tanele must stop Ministry of Foreign Affairs Eswatini

The continued harassment and now unlawful detention of Tanele Maseko by the Eswatini Government is unacceptable. She is well within her rights to seek justice for her husband Thulani Maseko who was brutally murdered last year.

CALS Also ‘progressive realisation’ without any progress and no realisation. Perhaps a minimum core approach would have helped 🧐

CALS Are the days of progressive socio-economic jurisprudence behind us? Iv been seeing it with eviction and property law. The Bill of Rights are largely paper rights…

UPDATE: Despite the Court finding government should be held accountable for making an “interim” measure permanent, the residents of Langaville will be forced to continue using chemical toilets indefinitely.
