Constitutional Court hits the spot

In the brouhaha about the Ministry of Justice’s amendments to the power of the judiciary is one clause that has all but been ignored.

If, as is expected, the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution is passed later this year, the words ”in all constitutional matters” will be deleted.
