Media Invite: SAHRC Western Cape Provincial Office to host a community engagement on the Equality legislation

Attention: Editors and Reporters

02 February 2022

The South African Human Rights Commission (“the Commission”) working in collaboration with the Langa Advice Office will host a community engagement to educate members of the public on the Equality legislation and the work of the Institutions Supporting Democracy in the Republic. This is meant to amplify basic human rights awareness with specific focus on the equality provision of the Bill of Rights as enshrined in Chapter 2 of the Constitution of the Republic South Africa, 1996.

The Western Cape Provincial Office of the Commission envisages that this community engagement will also assist in popularising the specialised Equality Courts that were formed as a result of this legislation and encourage communities to directly access the Equality Courts when necessary.

The engagement is scheduled to take place as follows:

DATE	AREA	VENUE	TIME
03 February 2022	Langa, Cape Town	Monwabisi Recreational Centre, Langa	09h30 – 15h00

Ends
