The Constitutional Court on Wednesday upheld an earlier ruling by the High Court to do away with the common-law defence of reasonable chastisement when spanking a child.
The case has its origins in the conviction of a father for assaulting his 13-year-old son in Johannesburg. The father later argued, in his defence, that he was administering moderate and reasonable chastisement under common law. The organisation argued that parents had a right decide for themselves what was in the best interests of their children.
I wonder if all the 21 members who reached this verdict have children..

SA must implement stricter immigration lawsA remarkable and significant development happened at the funeral service of former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe at the weekend – the booing and then cheering of President Cyril Ramaphosa. Spot on, I fully agree. this is a dumb op-ed. first of all, south africa *did* tighten immigration laws after 2008. secondly, the author just low-key called south african police lazy & incompetent. also, housing and public order aren't better here, but most people don't realise it until it's too late. Our government doesn't care about current socioeconomic. The message mst be clear that all illegal immigrants must go back and implement strict measures in our boundaries. They choose to play father christmas at our expense.
