The Democratic Alliance is currently engaged in two significant court cases, both aimed at defending our Constitution from the continued power abuse of the ANC. We know how confusing all the ‘legalese’ can be, so we’ve drawn up these easy to read summaries of the progress we have made in each case. Also, the summary tables include links to all of the key documentation in each case.
