Until South Africa got its act together it would be a laughing stock and prophets of doom would say it was yet another failed African state, Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng said yesterday.

Mogoeng was speaking at the fourteenth Victoria and Griffiths Mxenge Memorial Lecture at the University of KwaZulu-Natal University’s Howard College where the university also hosted the School of Law Awards Ceremony.

Honouring Victoria and Griffiths, Mogoeng told the gathering that sitting comfortably when more could be done to improve the country would be betraying what the Mxenge's lived and died for.

A video showing 15 of the 219 schoolgirls held by the jihadist group Boko Haram has added pressure on the Nigerian government to secure their release, after activists accused authorities of mishandling the case in the two years since their mass kidnap.

In the video, apparently taken in December and given to government officials by Boko Haram as proof of life for the negotiations, a person asks the 15 girls to say their names as they stand quietly in two rows, wearing headscarves.

President Muhammadu Buhari said in December that the government could talk to Boko Haram if credible representatives emerged.

DA leader Mmusi Maimane has announced that he will lead a “March for Change” to the Constitutional Court today, where he will repeat his call for the removal of President Jacob Zuma for “violating his Oath Office”.

He said the DA had committed to various forms of mass mobilisation and protest to highlight the importance of the judgment and the ANC’s refusal to remove a President who did not care about the Constitution and the people of South Africa.

Maimane said in order for South Africa’s constitutional democracy to “survive and thrive, Zuma could no longer occupy the Presidency”.
