Governance

Natural Justice is a non-profit organization registered in South Africa. We are committed to transparency and accountability in all aspects of our work and currently operate as a collective of core team members.

Three of our core team members were nominated by consensus to serve on a Coordinating Committee. This Committee aims to provide strategic oversight and specific technical advice concerning, for example, financial management, to the rest of the collective. The current Committee members are Kabir Bavikatte, Harry Jonas, and Johanna von Braun.

We also have a 3-person Board of Trustees, which provides oversight in accordance with our Constitution. Our 2010-2011, 2009, and 2008 Annual Reports can be downloaded below.
