- "Apparently the option of calling the head of the Simon’s Town Naval Base or the defence minister or both into his office and demanding some straight answers by close of play on the day the story broke is a task beyond or below the President." @BrenthurstF
- It is easy to breakdown and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build.- Nelson Mandela
- South Africa belongs to all of us, to all who dwell here. All, all of us are sons and daughters of this land. You can be a zealous proponent of a particular viewpoint and yet you can all the while be civil, courteous.- Archbishop Desmond Tutu (Memorial tribute to Helen Suzman)
- "Like the people at the Helen Suzman Foundation who battled the Goliath that is Home Affairs to protect the Zimbabwean Special Permit holders." Thank you @dailymaverick for acknowledging our work.
- Today we celebrate courageous women such as Babita Deokaran, Martha Ngoye, Cynthia Stimpel, Mosilo Mothepu, Bianca Goodson and many others who displayed acts of bravery by speaking out against corruption. Happy Women's Day. #HSF30
- HSF heads to court next week, the 11th to 14th April, to challenge the Minister of Home Affairs' decision to terminate the ZEP. See below a list of frequently asked questions about our case.
- Fritz: Mr Mpofu is a seasoned senior advocate, and he knows the line of questioning not to put to a witness. However, he is prepared to smear Mlambo's reputation, along with Mr Malema, for what amounted to about 2 hours. This was shameful. #Frontline
- Activist, Mcebisi Jonas says we need to ask ourselves whether our foreign policy serves our national interest. #HSFRoundtable
- "Then there are the Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP) holders. For decades, they were here legally. Then, in one arbitrary cabinet decision, they were rendered undocumented. It took the Helen Suzman Foundation going to court to reverse it."
- The ZEP court case will not be heard tomorrow as scheduled. Instead the Court has determined that the matter is not ripe for hearing and should be postponed. We will now seek a new hearing at the earliest possible date.
- Press Release - 15 June 2022: HSF has launched legal action challenging the decision of the Minister of Home Affairs to terminate the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP). A link to the full press release and papers can be found here – hsf.org.za/news/press-rel…
