Media Advisory: SAHRC to meet with ILembe District Civil Society regarding the state of human rights in the region

Attention: Editors and Reporters
Saturday, 08 February 2025

The South African Human Rights Commission’s (SAHRC/the Commission) KwaZulu Natal Provincial Office calls on Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs)/Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in iLembe District Municipality in KwaZulu Natal Province to engage with the Commission in detailing the state of human rights in the district and province.

The civil society stakeholder meetings will seek to get first-hand information from the organisations or stakeholders about the state of human rights in their respective local municipalities, to draw on the activism and social action of local civil society groupings, to contribute and actively engage in the development of community-based solutions on human rights challenges facing the district.

The Commission seeks to intensify human rights awareness and reach through stakeholder networks and relations with CSOs, and how they can assist communities to lodge complaints with the Commission as well as to access justice. The Commission will develop a report on the state of human rights in the province which will also consider interventions that may be employed in addressing issues and challenges raised.
