Attention: Editors and Reporters
The Eastern Cape Provincial Office (ECPO) of the South African Human Rights Commission (Commission) is actively participating in crucial stakeholder engagements stemming from complaints regarding inadequate service delivery in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality (NMBMM) from 20-21 February 2024. These engagements are intended to facilitate discussions between the affected community and the responsible municipality, allowing for a thorough examination of the implementation status of service delivery plans. This is in accordance with section 184 (1) (b) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa that; the Commission must promote the protection, development and attainment of human rights in the Republic.
The ECPO will also address numerous unresolved equality court cases within the district. This involves consulting with affected complainants to gather additional evidence and actively pursuing updates on pending matters from the equality courts, demonstrating our commitment to ensuring justice and equality for all.
