Corruption Watch, Freedom Under Law, and the DA have won a Western Cape High Court ruling interdicting Dr John Hlophe from serving on the upcoming round of the parliamentary Judicial Service Commission's interviews for magistrates and judges. The applicants argued that the inclusion of Hlophe in the commission was irrational, following his impeachment by the very same Parliament earlier this year.

Meaningful consultation between communities and mining companies, says Dr Godknows Mudimu in this research paper prepared for Corruption Watch, translates into meaningful outcomes for those who hold informal title to land.
