Abstract Twenty-five years after the formal end of apartheid, the majority of South Africans still live in poverty, with the attainment of socio-economic rights remaining elusive. While some progress has been made, there is a clear need for new approaches to ensure that rights to housing, food and education are fulfilled in reality, and do not merely remain words in a well-written constitution. In this regard, one approach that holds great potential for expediting the realisation of socio-economic rights is extra-judicial engagement. Extra-judicial engagement here refers to participatory processes occurring outside of courts. However, there is a need to ensure that concerns about the quality of such engagement are addressed to strengthen its success in aiding the realisation of socio-economic rights. The #FeesMustFall movement is a practical attempt at extra-judicial engagement and can thus provide useful insights into the potential and challenges relating thereto.

社会经济权利实现的司法外参与：#FeesMustFall 的教训

摘要 种族隔离正式结束 25 年后，大多数南非人仍然生活在贫困中，社会经济权利的实现仍然遥不可及。虽然已经取得了一些进展，但显然需要采取新的方法来确保住房、食物和教育权在现实中得到实现，而不仅仅是在写得很好的宪法中停留。在这方面，一种在加快实现社会经济权利方面具有巨大潜力的方法是法外参与。这里的司法外参与是指发生在法庭之外的参与程序。然而，需要确保解决对此类参与质量的担忧，以加强其在帮助实现社会经济权利方面的成功。
