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.

Unlocking citizenship: Overcoming irregular birth certificates

Nearly a decade after the coming into effect of various amendments to the South African Citizenship Act 88 of 1995 (Citizenship Act), which included a new ground of citizenship through the insertion of section 4(3) the Department of Home Affairs (Department) continues to impose arbitrary requirements that create unnecessary barriers to deserving applicants seeking to enforce their right to citizenship under section 4(3) of the act. This pattern of deprivation not only violates the clear provisions set forth in the Citizenship Act, but also effectively undermines the rule of law by denying individuals their legitimate rights entrenched in our Constitution, 1996. It raises serious concerns about the integrity and fairness of the implementation of the legal framework governing citizenship.
