In the latest episode of CDH Conversations, Brigitta Mangale, Director in our Pro Bono & Human Rights practice, is joined by Rachel Bukasa, Executive Director of Black Sash, for a thought-provoking discussion on social protection, social grants, dignity, and access to justice in South Africa.

The conversation explores:

• The role of social grants in advancing dignity and meaningful freedom
• Challenges within the SASSA grant system and their impact on vulnerable communities
• The intersection of unemployment, workers’ rights, and social protection
• Recent Constitutional Court developments and what they mean for grant beneficiaries
• Why civic participation and accountability remain central to protecting rights

This timely discussion offers important insight into the constitutional promise of freedom and the lived realities facing many South Africans today.
