Nigel C. Gibson:  On March 19, 2005, in a scene reminiscent of the anti-apartheid struggle, 750 Black shack dwellers barricaded a major ring road near the Umgeni Business Park in Durban, fighting the police for four hours.1 The shack dwellers had been waiting patiently for Nelson Mandela’s historic 1994-election promise of housing to be realized.

Today, the EU General Data Protection Regulation – or GDPR – comes into effect amid a great deal of anticipation and build-up.
