Media Alert: SAHRC Eastern Cape Provincial Office to conduct monitoring activities in the Sarah Bartman District Municipality and Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality

Attention: Editors and Reporters

18 AUGUST 2023

The SAHRC in Eastern Cape will be embarking on various monitoring activities in Sarah Baartman District Municipality and Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality. 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 an opportunity for the Commission to inspect areas of potential violation and facilitate redress where required.

Monitoring activities will include site visits to frail care centres, service delivery in farm areas, healthcare facilities, equality courts, living conditions of farm workers, schools, access of persons with disability to public transport and children rights.

The provincial activities will take place as follows:
