- Description
- In just eight days of the deadly July 2021 riots, more than 350 people died across KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. One of the most violent episodes in post-apartheid South Africa has still not been reckoned with. Many of the killers who murdered innocent people — some of whom were private security guards and vigilantes — have not been brought to justice. The extreme poverty, which drove the looting, has also not been addressed.
Reckoning with the Riots is a short documentary that explores the factors and context that sparked the tragedy, as well as the aftermath and quest for justice. It features conversations with witnesses, those who lost loved ones, lawyers, human rights proponents, business owners and people who lived through the riots.
Witnesses and families of victims speak about their loss and what it means for the future of South Africa’s social relations, placing the riots in the context of the country’s long history of racial and economic exclusi...

- The Basic Income Grant (BIG) has long been a topic of debate in South Africa. The idea was first raised in a 1997 White Paper on Social Welfare. More than 20 years later, more than half the population lives on R 1335 per month or less. In the context of widespread poverty, unemployment, and the need for wealth redistribution and social redress, the justification for a BIG is especially relevant today.
The South African government introduced a Social Relief of Distress Grant (SRD) to ameliorate growing levels of hunger resulting from the hard lockdown, however, the monetary value of the grant amounts to approximately a loaf of bread a day, far below a decent standard of living. Nevertheless, this grant did prevent more than 10 million beneficiaries from falling into starvation. There are still a number of limitations in relation to the SRD, the biggest issue being that the grant is scheduled to come to an end in March 2023, which will result in 10 mil...

The Covid-19 pandemic and government lockdowns have exacerbated what is now being called the “shadow pandemic” of women increasingly being abused—sexually, physically, emotionally, and economically. For many women around the world, the violence manifests in their own homes as well as spaces of work and enterprise.
Now more than ever it is critical for women to gain financial freedom to break the vicious cycle of gender-based violence and workplace abuse. In recognition of Leah Tutu’s Birthday and Domestic Violence Awareness month, the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation and Shared Interest are excited to co-host a webinar about the economic and domestic threats to women’s empowerment.

- DDP Presents: The Electoral Amendment Bill and the Case for Electoral Reform
- Runtime

- Description
- In June 2020 the Constitutional Court declared the current South African Electoral Act unconstitutional in so far as it does not allow independent candidates to contest elections at national and provincial levels, thus preventing people who do not wish to belong to political parties from contesting elections.
Among the fundamental rights, responsibilities and powers afforded to people in a democracy is the opportunity to vote for public representatives and to stand to be elected to office. These rights are enshrined in the constitution of the Republic of South Africa.
The current Electoral Amendment Bill, which is being debated in parliament and was opened for further public comment (closed on 16 September 2022), does not meet constitutional muster. It entrenches the existing political dispensation, by favoring larger political parties while disempowering independent candidates and in our view will not survive a challenge in the Constitutional Court.

Homeowners and businesses are taking a keen interest in purchasing solar power as they can be without electricity for up to 12 hours a day at times. Many people are now taking matters into their own hands. Solar power does not come cheap, though. Some South Africans are paying around R60 000 to R120 000 for solar power to avoid being reliant on Eskom.
