The South African Human Rights Commission has filed papers at the Constitutional Court to appeal a recent judgment on its powers by the Supreme Court of Appeal.
In an August ruling, the SCA upheld the 2022 decision of the Mpumalanga High Court, stating that the commission does not have the authority to issue binding directives. Complexion and Mpho Mashita talk to Victor Mavhidula, the Limpopo Provincial Manager SAHRC about what the institution desires as the outcome of their appeal and what kind of powers they hope to have to fight for justice.
