Special Episode: ‘Our Purpose is the Land’ with Kabir Bavikatte
Tanveer and Johan have a very special guest: the founder of Johan’s old employer Natural Justice - Dr Kabir Bavikatte.
Kabir unpacks his theories of biocultural rights - an interesting, original and different conceptualisation of property.
Kabir reflects on multiple relationships that one might have to property and the land, and how this should affect how we view property rights. He notes law's trend towards recognising relationships that communities have with their land - including in cases such as Maledu and Baleni - and argues that we can all learn from this.

Special Episode 7 - 'Industry House' with Kevin Minofu
Johan and Elisha are joined by our friend, Kevin Minofu, for a discussion focusing on South Africa's (black African) immigrant communities and the legal forms xenophobia takes.
Kevin describes a number of policy proposals which formed part of an emergent current of political xenophobia... and the shadowy network of online trolls and sponsored campaigns supporting it. We trade Twitter war-stories and vow to post another day.
The team then has an in-depth discussion of the hearing and previews judgment in Residents of Industry House v Minister of Police, a case where the Court considers the rights of the SAPS to cordon off certain blocks of the inner city to conduct warrantless searches and otherwise harass communities the City of Johannesburg has decided to 'clean up'.
Many are calling it the most important case of 2020. Judgment is expected soon. Tune in to Just Us Under a Tree.
Mix and master generously donated by our friends at Kuyasha Media.
