Before becoming a judge, Eberhard Bertelsmann SC stood as senior counsel in the 1998 constitutional challenge to South Africa’s abortion law. Almost three decades later, while terminally ill, he joined LFN in rethinking how that unfinished constitutional battle could return to court upon a stronger evidential and legal foundation. Following his passing, LFN reaffirms its commitment to pursue that challenge — and will dedicate it to the memory of the man who spent his final months helping us prepare to ask the questions he believed South African law had never fully answered.

On a short drive along the N1 from Acasia to Midrand, my family and I encountered two separate intoxicated drivers — late morning, on a busy highway, still drinking while driving. That moment, together with recent revelations about South Africa’s R25 billion illicit alcohol underworld, forced a hard reckoning. This is not an abstract debate about “responsible drinking”. It is a confrontational call to South Africans to reconsider alcohol’s role in our crime, violence, family breakdown, moral erosion, and even our ability to resist corruption — starting now, at the beginning of the year.
