Attention: Editors and Reporters

13 June 2022

The SAHRC Eastern Cape provincial office will this week be embarking on conducting various monitoring activities within the Amathole West and Chris Hani West Districts. Section 184 (1) (c) of the South African Constitution states that the Commission must monitor and assess the observance of human rights in the Republic.

The role of monitoring and assessing human rights and potential human rights violations, provides for an opportunity for the Commission to ensure redress and to ensure that human rights are upheld in the Republic.

Monitoring activities will include site visits to homes for the elderly, persons living with disabilities, detention centres, child and youth care centres, health local government entities and psychiatric hospitals.
