Affairs loses teacher permit case again - 26 October
Zimbabwean schoolteacher Zwelani Ncube has won another victory
in his two-year court battle for a work permit, with the Supreme
Court of Appeal dismissing an application by the Department of
Home Affairs for leave to appeal against a high court order on
the permit. The decision could pave the way for similar claims
in the future, his attorney, Sarah Sephton of the Legal
Resources Centre, said. The appeal court ordered the department
to issue a work permit to Ncube and to pay him compensation. - allAfrica

Judge
was biased, says Leigh's killer - 26 October
Donovan Moodley, the murderer of Johannesburg student Leigh
Matthews, says he should not spend the rest of his life in
prison because he "did not plan to kill" the
20-year-old. He also claims the judge who sentenced him was
biased because of the media attention generated by the case and
society's outrage at the killing. Moodley pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to life imprisonment for Matthews' murder in July
2004. - Times Live
