On this day commemorating the 30th anniversary of the nation’s constitutional democracy, President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver the keynote presentation at the National Conference on the State of Human Rights in Boksburg.
Under the subject “Three Decades of Respect for and Promotion of Human Rights,” the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development will organize the conference.
The Conference will offer a chance to examine the obstacles that have impeded the advancement of human rights realization.
“This year marks the 30th anniversary of our democracy and this conference is sitting at this time of the year enables us to really look at how far we’ve come as a democracy, particularly along the respect for human rights,” says Chrispin Phiri, a spokesman for the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development.
Phiri continues, “This conference will really delve into the aspect of human rights, how far we have come, and what more we need to do to deepen a human rights culture. South Africa, of course, has a turbulent history with human rights, but we also have a progressive history with the most advanced constitution in the world.
