Media Advisory: SAHRC Northern Cape Provincial Office to Conduct Stakeholder Engagement on Poverty Alleviation and Job Creating Opportunities
29 August 2022
Attention: Editors and Reporters
South Africa has made positive progress across a number of critical areas since the dawn of democracy in 1994. Despite the achievements attained, South Africa continues to experience escalating rise in poverty, large-scale unemployment, and deep-seated structural inequalities. The challenge that lies ahead is how to promote the interests of the poor people, vulnerable groups, marginalised communities, and many others who are yet to enjoy the full benefits of our democracy.
