Justice Madlanga addressed the learners on transformative constitutionalism

Every year, hundreds of high school learners participate in the National Schools Moot Court Competition. The competition, which first began in 2011, is a joint initiative by the Department of Basic Education, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, the South African Human Rights Commission, the Foundation for Human Rights and the University of Pretoria. CDH has been heavily involved in the Competition since 2014, and on 4 October 2017, as part of an intensive few days programme for the national rounds, we hosted 74 learners participating in these rounds at a seminar held at our Sandton offices.
