To all supporters who signed this petition,

Thank you for standing with me. When this petition was launched, the immediate concern was a denial of access to court that placed my family home at risk. Since then, the matter has evolved into a broader constitutional question concerning access to justice, accountability, transparency, and the right of an ordinary citizen to have serious disputes properly adjudicated.

The Current Status: Case CCT 29/26

My matter is now before the Constitutional Court of South Africa under Case No: CCT 29/26. It has been 118 days since my application was filed.

The Court previously confirmed that my Supplementary Affidavit (NA12) formed part of the record before the Justices. Since then, I have filed a Further Supplementary Affidavit (NA28), a Request for Directions (NA34), and additional affidavits concerning the procedural status of the matter. These documents have been served on all parties and placed before the Court as part of an ongoing effort to ensure that the record remains complete and accurate.

The Ongoing Concern Disclosure and Transparency

A central concern remains that no disclosure has been made to me of the underlying records relating to the disciplinary and grievance processes that ultimately led to findings and actions against me.

These records include, among other things, investigation mandates, reports, minutes, resolutions, appointment documents, and other material that would explain how allegations against me were investigated, assessed, and ultimately acted upon as established fact.

Those allegations led to decisions that affected my employment, livelihood, reputation, home, and family life. Yet the underlying records remain undisclosed to me.

My position remains simple where serious decisions are taken against a person, the record explaining those decisions should be available for scrutiny. Accountability requires transparency, and transparency requires a complete record.

Moving Forward

I continue to use the lawful processes available to me to:

• ensure that the Constitutional Court has a complete and accurate record before it;

• seek clarity regarding the status of filings placed before the Court;

• preserve the procedural history of this matter under oath; and

• ensure that the constitutional issues raised are considered on a full and transparent record.

This petition has never asked the public to decide the outcome of my case.

It asks something much simpler, that constitutional rights, access to justice, and public accountability should be real in practice and not merely promises on paper.

Thank you for continuing to follow this matter and for helping preserve a public record of these proceedings.

Respectfully,

Nicolene Appolis
