Leader of the Freedom Front Plus, Pieter Groenwald, says Human Rights Day is there to remind us to respect each and everyone’s human rights.
“The right to water, the right to housing and the right to education come also with responsibilities and I urge all South Africans to protect the institutions that have been given to us in education, in health and in other government institutions. It is our responsibility as we have these rights to protect these institutions as well.
There are those that say they would not be celebrating the day even if there was no COVID-19 pandemic. Among them is the Congress of the People spokesperson Denis Bloem. “Human Rights Day in this country will always remind us of our past that is characterised by misuse of power by the powers that be then which lead to many deaths in this country. The challenges facing us is to address the backlogs and imbalances caused by the oppressive regimes over the past decades in South Africa.”DA Leader John Steenhuizen, the day is ironic in the face of the current restrictions.
There's nothin new in them so maybe tis a good thing. Now water services can reach people and it took a deadly virus to get the so called 'servants' on high salaries to act and afford peasants this basic human right.
This will definitely harm and have an impact on next year local elections sabcnews
