Section 7(2) of the Constitution express that Local Government must respect, protect, promote and fulfil human rights such as the right to water, a clean and healthy environment, and housing amongst others. The Constitution places a legal duty on those in Local Government to ensure that human rights are considered when developing policies, making laws, delivering services and making decisions. The Commission will use this roadshow to forge institutional links with various municipalities and to monitor (or keep track of) what Local Government is doing as this sphere is involved in rendering a wide range of services which materially affect the lives of people.
