Hunger, The Right to Die & Litigation Funding

--:--
Fourteen million of our people go hungry daily but we dump surplus and wasted food valued at R60-billion per year. In studio, Attorney Nastascha Harduth explains how the law is starving the poor. How we die is a question that concerns every single mortal being. The team talks to Professor Sean Davison who gives his opinion on the Supreme Court of Appeal judgement handed down last month in the Robin Stransham-Ford case. Litigation is expensive and comes with enormous risk. With Litigation Funding available in South Africa, the legal landscape has changed for those who would not normally have access to our courts. Simon Kuper and Gary Sweiden are in studio to explain the concept.
