The Upgrading Act constitutes indirect unfair discrimination on the listed grounds of race and gender because it effects are predominately felt by black women who could not previously be registered as the holders of land tenure rights #MaryRahube

It unjustifiably limits the applicants and all those similarly situated, the constitutional rights to be protected against arbitrary deprivation of property #MaryRahube

The conversion process was intended to protect and promote tenure which is legally secure. To the extent that section 2 fails to protect occupants of property who are not registered on the deed of grant at all, it fails to fulfill its mandate and therefore irrational #MaryRahube

McConnachie: Asylum system has a philosophy of integration. Although S22 permit provides some security, it’s only valid for a limited period of time. Another problem on permit renewals relates to access to the Refugee Reception Offices

Does a farm occupier's constitutional rights to secure land tenure disappear if they earn more than an arbitrary amount?

McConnachie: recent judgment in Scalabrini case before SCA in 2017 recorded refugee backlog in 2015 of 100,000 of asylum applications. Even if RAB sat 365 days a year it would take estimated 27 years to get through that backlog
