Why We Are White Refugees

Delano Louw, the Snr Registrar's Clerk at the Constitutional Court, today informed Lara Johnstone that her Amicus Curiae (Friend of the Court) Application had been approved by the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court; namely that “Ms. Lara Johnstone, member of the Radical Honesty culture and religion, is admitted as an Amicus Curiae.”
Her written submission must be submitted to the Constitutional Court by 25 May 2010.
The Chief Justice denied the In Forma Pauperis aspect of her Amicus Curiae Application, without providing any reasons.
Perhaps he thought that (a) she was not in fact indigent (if so he would be wrong, she is); or (b) he thought she was legally capable of representing herself, as per her Paralegal qualifications, or (c) he thought that she may be able to come up with the required financial resources for legal representation, for the Amicus Curiae application.
She did contact Foundations and Non-profits who are allegedly concerned with Population Policy issues, to invite them to participate in the Amicus application. Among others she contacted: Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation; Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; Population Council and The Population Institute. She has not yet had any response from any of them.
