Supreme Court: Latest rulings, trials and judicial news
Want clear, fast updates on big court fights and rulings? This tag page gathers coverage of Supreme Court decisions, tribunals and major legal stories from Africa and beyond. You get quick summaries, clear context, and links to full reports so you can follow what matters.
Recent posts include high-profile trials and tribunals that shape public life. Read how Advocate Malesela Teffo keeps pressing for justice in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial despite threats and alleged police interference. Follow the Judicial Conduct Tribunal probe into Judge Selby Mbenenge, where harassment claims and legal arguments wait for a final hearing.
Why this matters: Supreme Court and tribunal rulings change law, affect government power, and decide rights that touch daily life. A single decision can alter elections, public spending, policing, or business rules. We break rulings down into what they mean now and what could come next.
Want to follow a case closely? Start with the judgment summary and the timeline of hearings. Look for quoted passages, the court's reasoning, and any dissenting opinions - those sections show the deal-breakers. We link to full court documents when available and flag legal terms so you don't get lost.

How we report
We verify court records and cross-check dates with court registries before publishing. When possible we include links to full judgments, audio of hearings, and official notices. We also explain the practical impact - like who gains rights, what laws change, and whether a ruling can be appealed. If reporting affects personal safety we redact sensitive details and guide sources to legal help.
What to watch next
Keep an eye on pending constitutional appeals and high-profile criminal trials that could set new legal tests. Also watch tribunals dealing with judicial conduct - outcomes there change how judges are held accountable. We'll flag major appeal dates, release summaries after judgments, and explain any immediate effects on public policy or private rights.
