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.

Dan, Johan and Elisha are once again joined by Mbekezeli Benjamin of Judges Matter. https://www.judgesmatter.co.za/
We begin with a deep dive into the current make-up of the Court… who is on the bench, outstanding vacancies, and how we expect them to be filled.
Mbekezeli helps us think about Acting Justices, the DCJ’s state capture commission and developments in the complaints against judges Hlophe, Parker, and Makhubele. How should judicial discipline work?
In further news, Elisha outlines recent triumphs of democracy in Malawi and threats to democracy in the United States.
Then, an argument preview: Dan covers an interesting lease dispute between the University of Johannesburg and Auckland Park Theological Seminary.
Finally, two of the messiest areas in our law: Johan recaps Sithole, where the court again confronts the apartheid-era marriage system. Dan then recaps the 7-hour Qwelane argument, on how to deal with homophobic hate-speech.
Final mix and master and outro by Daniel Basckin. Check out Dan's new EP: 'What Do You Hear Underwater' https://ditto.fm/what-do-you-hear-underwater
