High Court condones Minister of Police’s six-year delay in delivering his plea

Tuesday 25 November 2025 marked the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children (16 Days), a period in which we are all annually called to stand firmly against gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) and which spotlights the executive, legislative and judicial branches of Government’s crucial role in this ongoing fight. On the heels of GBVF being classified a national disaster, three High Court, Western Cape Division, judges – Thulare J, Fortuin J, and Adams AJ – marked the beginning of the 16 Days period by delivering their judgment in favour of the Minister of Police (Minister), effectively allowing the Minister’s feeble explanations for an astonishing six-year delay in the delivery of his plea in a matter that relates to the sexual abuse and rape of a then 18-year-old transgender woman while in police custody to pass judicial scrutiny. A period meant to mark renewed vigour, solidarity, and commitment to the collective fight against GBVF instead began with judicial disappointment.

Sustainability bonds and the debt market of the future: Are we ready?

Sustainability-linked bonds (SLB) and green debt instruments have emerged as essential instruments in mobilising capital for climate-resilient infrastructure and inclusive socio-economic project development for the purpose of supporting long-term sustainability goals. SLBs are structured in a similar manner to conventional bonds, however unlike conventional bonds, SLBs are designed to provide the capital needed to fund a project’s growth requirements by linking financial performance to predefined environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets, incentivising issuers to meet set sustainability objectives measured by key performance indicators (KPI) against sustainability performance targets. In the event that certain targets are missed, the coupon rate may be adjusted accordingly.
