The die is cast on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) after yesterday's judgement by the Court of Appeal, and the political implication will be reverberating.     

The judgement throwing out the BBI appeal will shape the country's political landscape going forward, and will likely be the backbone on which key political figures will anchor their pre-election pacts and alliances.
