  • A call to reclaim the national dialogue

    On June 27, 2024, several Legacy Foundations made a call to “to the people of South Africa to join in a National Dialogue to reorientate the direction of our nation,” after many years of decline in which the promise of April 1994 had been broken. We do not claim to have been the first to have made such a call, it had in fact been made by many South Africans over the years.

  • Follow Up: NPA meets with family of murdered Dimpho Motlodi- NPA Apologises to Motlodi Family After Murder Convict’s Release and Re-Arrest

    The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) met with the family of Dimpho Motlodi on 15 August 2025 to address the controversial release and subsequent re-arrest of Atlholanang William Mosiane, a former North West traffic officer previously convicted of her murder.  Mosiane was found guilty of fatally shooting Dimpho five times in front of their nine-year-old son in Tlhabane in March 2021. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in November 2023. However, in May 2025, he was unexpectedly released after a successful appeal, which argued that the original trial was improperly constituted due to the absence of assessors, a legal requirement in certain cases under South African law.  Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with NPA Spokesperson, Advocate Mthunzi Mhaga.
