Long live Saflii, long live!! Best friend of legal journalists 😍

SAFLII publishes ALL judgments sent to us from the courts. We don't reject judgments based on reportability or other criteria. If it's not on SAFLII, it's likely that we didn't receive the judgment. Please email us if you know of a judgment or have a copy of it to info@saflii.org

@Pansy_Tlakula: lack of transparency in elections leads to suspicion and mistrust. This can in turn result in violence- threatening peace and security @guyberger @EdetOjo @baglogabriel @ODAC_SA @MukelaniSD

Looks like an important workshop on genomic and health-related data sharing in Cape Town --> @OpenUpSA @ODAC_SA @cpsi_sa

Excited to be part of this important meeting. Data and biospecimen governance on the African continent remains a challenge. Need to streamline governance across the region. #gendataAfri @AASciences
