Legal Aid SA reminds people of their rights
The organisation will continue to conduct outreach programmes to educate the public about the Constitution and their rights.
To increase awareness and access to the Legal Aid South Africa service, staff from the organisation took to the streets in Pinetown to celebrate Human Rights month.
The organisation will participate in a number of community outreach programmes to educate people about the Constitution and their rights.
Bongani Mahlangu, KZN Regional communication practitioner said one of their mandates as an organisation is to ensure that they protect human rights.
“We will be intensifying our efforts to protect and affirm the rights of the indigent through quality legal aid service throughout this month and beyond,” said Mahlangu.
The organisation set up an advice desk at the Pinetown taxi rank where they advised people on their rights and what role is played by Legal Aid in protecting those rights.
