Joseph v City of Johannesburg (2010)

Description:

Batho Pele (Sotho for “People First”) expresses a commitment to deliver public services to all citizens [...] Batho Pele gives practical expression to the constitutional value of ubuntu which embraces the relational nature of rights [...] Courts must move beyond the common law conception of rights as strict boundaries of individual entitlement. - Justice Thembile Skweyiya, Joseph v City of Johannesburg (2010)
