instead, each household received a free monthly allowance of six kilolitres of water, and any consumption over that amount had to be pre-paid for.The applicants challenged the constitutionality both of the installation of prepaid meters and of the six kilolitre limit on free basic water.", "They contended that six kilolitres did not fulfil their \"right to have access to sufficient water\", in terms of section 27(1)(b) of the Constitution, nor the state's obligation, in terms of section 27(2), to \"take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to achieve the progressive realisation\" of that right.", "The installation of prepaid meters allowed the state to inhibit residents' access to water, and prepaid meters – unlike meters that dispensed water on credit – did not protect residents' access to water against administrative errors and household emergencies: among the applicants, Lindiwe Mazibuko's water had been disconnected erroneously for several months in 2004, and two children died in a house fire on Vusimuzi Paki's property after he was unable to access tap water with which to distinguish the blaze.", "Moreover, insofar as households in the majority-white suburbs of Johannesburg were permitted to install credit meters as an alternative to prepaid meters, the compulsory installation of prepaid meters in Phiri was unfair and discriminatory." ], [ "Prior actions", "Represented by Wim Trengove SC, the applicants applied in the High Court of South Africa to sue the City of Johannesburg, Johannesburg Water, and the national Minister for Water Affairs and Forestry.", "The Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions was admitted as amicus curiae.", "On 30 April 2008, Tsoka J of the Witwatersrand Local Division found in favour of the applicants, setting aside the six kilolitre limit on the free basic water allowance; the City of Johannesburg was ordered to provide the applicants, and all similarly situated residents of Phiri, with a free basic water allowance of 50 litres per person per day (about twice the prevailing allowance).", "The prepaid water system in Phiri was additionally declared unconstitutional and unlawful.The City appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of Appeal, where its appeal was partly upheld on 25 March 2009 by Hurt AJA and Judges of Appeal Piet Streicher, Kenneth Mthiyane, Chris Jafta, and Mandisa Maya.", "Writing for the unanimous bench, Streicher agreed with the High Court that the prevailing free basic water allowance was insufficient to fulfil the state's obligations under section 27(1) of the Constitution.", "However, he held that 42 litres of water per day was \"sufficient\" water in terms of section 27(1).", "The High Court's order was therefore replaced with an order declaring that the city was obliged, to the extent that it was reasonable to do so, to provide 42 litres of water per day to each Phiri resident who could not afford to pay for such water.", "The city was ordered to reformulate its free water policy in light of this declaration, and in the interim it was ordered to provide each indigent Phiri resident with a free allowance of 42 litres per day.", "The Supreme Court also found that the use of prepaid meter was unlawful in terms of the city's prevailing Water Service By-Laws.The applicants appealed the Supreme Court's decision to the Constitutional Court of South Africa, seeking a substantial reinstatement of the High Court's more favourable order; the City of Johannesburg and Johannesburg Water applied to cross-appeal the decision.", "The Constitutional Court heard arguments on 2 September 2009, and judgment was handed down on 8 October 2009." ], [ "Judgment", "In a judgment written by Justice Kate O'Regan, the Constitutional Court was unanimous in dismissing the applicants' appeal and upholding the city's cross-appeal, thereby setting aside the orders of both lower courts and affirming the lawfulness of the city's prevailing policy in Phiri.", "In contradistinction to the lower courts, the Constitutional Court declined to entertain arguments about the objective minimum quantity of water that qualified as \"sufficient\" for the purposes of section 27(1)(b).", "Instead, the Constitutional Court assessed the constitutionality of the city's policy by submitting it to reasonableness review.This approach arose from O'Regan's finding that it was not appropriate for the courts to delineate the normative content of the section 27 right to water ''viz.''", "a specific determination of a minimum amount of water that the state was obligated to ensure for all residents.", "As the court had found in ''Government v Grootboom'' (on the right to housing) and ''Minister of Health v Treatment Action Campaign'' (on the right of access to healthcare services), the government had a positive constitutional obligation to promote residents' socioeconomic rights, but the scope of that obligation was delineated not by a fixed \"minimum core\" of socioeconomic entitlement but instead by the section 27(2) requirement that the state should take \"reasonable\" measures, \"within its available resources\".", "Moreover, the judiciary was not well placed, either practically or constitutionally (under the separation of powers and demands of democratic accountability), to \"investigate social conditions in the light of available budgets and to determine what targets are achievable in relation to social and economic rights\" at any given time; that task should rest with the legislature and executive.Thus turning to a reasonableness review, the court found that the City of Johannesburg's policy in Phiri was reasonable and lawful; both the six kilolitre free basic water allowance and the introduction of prepaid metres were compliant with section 27 of the Constitution, with the Water Services Act, 1997, and with the city's own bylaws." ], [ "Reception and significance", "In the summation of Wits academic Marius Pieterse, ''Mazibuko'' has been derided for its \"limited conception of the role of socio-economic rights litigation, as well as for its formalist reasoning and its normatively sparse, institutionally deferent and procedurally-fixated employ of the reasonableness inquiry\".", "Although some commentators agreed with the court that its ''Mazibuko'' ruling followed from precedent in ''Grootboom'' and ''Treatment Action Campaign'', others viewed it as a retreat from the court's more progressive and activist stance in those cases;

the murders.", "However, he instead requested to be interviewed by a news reporter, to whom he immediately confessed to killing a number of children, as well as the German man.", "In another version,

they arrived at his house, he was nowhere to be seen.", "Police continued to search for him, eventually identifying him as the prime suspect in the murders, and ultimately arrested him at his sister's house, where he was found hiding in a chest.", "Reportedly, he had managed to avoid detection by cross-dressing.Using information provided by the detainee, police were able to locate additional bodies and identified the German as an economic consultant named Ernst Lange.", "When questioned, Amini claimed that he had stumbled upon the drunken Lange in Tehran, whereupon he abducted him, drove him to Mesgarabad, robbed him of his money and threw him into the well.", "In subsequent interviews, Amini confessed to a total of 67 murders, including some committed in northern Iran.The arrest caused a media frenzy, with many journalists noting how Amini's calm demeanor and polite manner of speaking contrasted the gruesomeness of his crimes.", "He was also noted for being disheveled, having a bad breath and for wearing a particular felt hat, for which some newspaper nicknamed him \"The Felt Hat Killer\" (Persian: قاتل کلاه نمدی).", "In interviews given to the press, Amini claimed that he had been inspired by Asghar the Murderer, and similarly wanted to rid society of people he considered to be corrupt.", "Following the revelations of his crimes, he was publicly disowned by his family,

considered his friend." ], [ "Execution", "In December 1963, Amini was publicly hanged in Toopkhaneh, alongside another murderer, Safar Ali Rahimi.", "The event was attended by numerous onlookers from

will not solve anything.", "Go find the cause.", "You have so many doctors.", "There are 3,000 people like me in Tehran.", "I am not afraid.", "\"After the execution, as per his wishes, his body was handed to an older brother, who then buried it in an undisclosed location." ], [ "In the media and culture", "In 2015, famous actor and film director Zakaria Hashemi released a book titled \"The Last
