I am Senior Lecturer in the Department of Criminal Justice and Procedure at the Faculty of Law at University of the Western Cape. My responsibilities range from teaching at undergraduate and post-graduate level, supervision of students' research, research on key issues pertaining to the criminal justice system, access to socio-economic rights in South Africa and the impact it has on crime and criminal justice, to commentary on policy and analysis of court cases from a constitutional and specifically a socio-economic perspective. My research expertise and interests are in human rights, rule of law, corruption, socio-economic rights, poverty alleviation and social inclusion.

I am also a member of the Journal of Anti-Corruption Law editorial team.
