The South African Human Rights Commission (Commission) is a Constitutional body, established to support constitutional democracy in terms of Section 181 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Constitution). Section 184(1) (b) of the Constitution obliges the Commission to promote the protection of human rights and monitor and assess the observance of human rights in the Republic of South Africa.

The role of monitoring and assessing human rights and potential human rights violations provides an opportunity for the Commission to ensure redress and to ensure that human rights are upheld.

Thus, the SAHRC Limpopo Provincial Office will be monitoring the observance of basic human rights and service delivery in the Groblersdal areas in the Ephraim Mogale Local Municipality on 23 to 24 November 2022. 

The Monitoring activities will include visits and inspections at the healthcare facilities, schools, detention centres including other places of limited liberty, and the local government service delivery.
