A research report submitted in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Masters of Management in the Field of Public Policy (MMPP) in the Wits School of Governance (WSG), Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management at the University of the Witwatersrand, October 2017 / Even though South Africa is living in what is referred to as a constitutional
democracy which is defined within the context of its Bill of Rights contained in
Chapter 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act, 1996 (the
Constitution) which is advocating for promotion of human rights, the country still finds
itself in a situation where the ideals and objectives of this Constitution are still often
regarded as unachievable by ordinary citizens.
The Bill of Rights seeks to promote and protect full enjoyment of the rights contained
in the Constitution and requires the state to realise this by developing progressive
legislation and other reasonable measures for the achievement of the above, within
the backdrop of the social and economic transformation purpose of the Constitution.
The success and therefore the benefit of the Bill of Rights can only be calculated
within the prism of policies and legislation developed in line with this Constitution and
how these are implemented by those who have been mandated to do so / MT 2019
