OURS HUMAN RIGHTS
Human rights are the rights and freedom that every human being has in the world, from the time you are born until death. They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe in, how you choose to live your life or your skin color.
We were joined by Eugene Raphalane and Luwethu, both are from the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) to talk about the importance of human rights and how to use them properly within the community.
SAHRC was inaugurated in October 1995. Its mission is to support constitutional democracy through promoting, protecting and monitoring the respect of everyone's human rights in South Africa without fear, favor or prejudice.
In the South African Constitution in its chapter 2, all basis human rights are listed there such as equality, human dignity, life, freedom and security of the person. It is mandatory to all to know them.
In case your rights are violated, don't stay passive, don't go to the police station, contact the SAHRC by going straight to their building or call them or email them.
Their services are mahala/ fee of charge.
