CALS Quarterly Issue 23

Read the latest issue of our quarterly newsletter and catch up on our recent highlights
At the end of January, CALS wished a fond farewell to Prof Tshepo Madlingozi who has been our Director for the last five years. We wish him well in his new position as a Commissioner at the South African Human Rights Commission, where his focus areas will be gender, racism, equality and justice. We look forward to working with him in this capacity.
As we search for a permanent Director, CALS is pleased to be led for the first time by a team of Black women. Phindile Khulu continues as project finance accountant while Busisiwe Kamolane-Kgadima has been appointed Acting Director and Sithuthukile Mkhize has stepped in as Acting Deputy Director. We are also pleased to have Nangamso Sosibo return to CALS as a candidate legal practitioner after completing an internship with us last year.
In January, CALS and our partners at the Right2Protest Project marked one year since the murder of human rights lawyer Thulani Maseko. We continue to call for an independent inquiry into his death and stronger safeguards for activists in South Africa and the SADC region. Other highlights from this quarter include a victory in the fight against the coal-fueled mega-project the Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone, a must-read opinion on the Marshalltown fires and what they can tell us about inequality in the inner city, and an important article on African environmental reparations and restorative justice.
