A 2020 report which presents the case for a modern national power utility - a New Eskom. Unfortunately, in the public discourse around energy in South Africa, the word ‘Eskom' has become an expletive.

A 2021 policy report which argues that it is time to rediscover the roots of our resilience by grounding land policy in collective action and democratic forms of land politics.

It corresponds closely with a philosophy of land stewardship: a deep and abiding relationship to land that is based on care-taking and an appreciation that land is held in trust, for now and for future generations.
