The Grootboom judgment v/s Government of the Republic of South Africa remains a cornerstone of South African constitutional jurisprudence on socio‑economic rights.

In this case Constitutional Court confirmed that socio‑economic rights, including the right to access adequate housing under section 26 of the Constitution, are legally enforceable. While the state is not obliged to provide housing to all immediately, its housing programme was declared unconstitutional because it failed to address the needs of those in urgent and desperate circumstances. The Court held that government measures must be reasonable, incorporating emergency relief and progressive realization of rights.

In the recent Judgment, the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) has ruled that the Road Accident Fund (RAF) cannot exclude undocumented or illegal foreigners from claiming compensation under section 17(1) of the RAF Act. The court confirmed that the phrase “any person” includes all accident victims, regardless of immigration. This means that any person can claim including illegal foreigners.

Lodging a claim with RAF can be complex. A crucial step is determining whether your injury qualifies as serious or non-serious, since only serious injuries, allows you to claim for general damages (compensation for pain and suffering).

Serious Injury Assessment
To apply for general damages, you must submit a RAF 4 Serious Injury Assessment Report, completed by a qualified medical practitioner. The RAF then reviews the report to decide if your injury meets the threshold for seriousness.

What Counts as a Serious Injury
An injury is usually considered serious if it results in:
- Long-term impairment or loss of a body function
- Permanent and significant disfigurement
- Severe, lasting mental disturbance

Commonly Rejected Injuries
The RAF often classifies the following as non-serious:
- Abrasions
- Bruises
- Soft tissue injuries
- Minor fractures

The case of S v Makwanyane and Another (1995) is one of the landmark judgment in South African constitutional law. In this case, the Constitutional Court struck down the death penalty as unconstitutional.

The Court held that capital punishment
violates the right to life, the right to dignity, and the right not to be subjected to cruel, inhuman, or degrading punishment.

The judgment signals a decisive break from apartheid-era authoritarianism and affirms that the new constitutional order is rooted in human rights and respect for human dignity.
