Government and its law enforcement institutions are not doing enough to implement their constitutional obligations for the benefit of South Africans.

This is a view expressed by students and members of the public at the University of Limpopo during the Limpopo Provincial Symposium celebration of the 25th anniversary of the constitution, which took place in Mankweng outside Polokwane.Widely regarded as one of the best constitutions in the world, South Africa’s highest law of the land was adopted in 1996 and came into effect in 1997.

“With the current crime rate against women, I don’t think our criminal laws are doing enough to protect women, we have a justice system we think is for us but behind the scenes is not like that,” says a member of the public. “The constitution is not serving us because as students we are supposed to get food allowances but we use that to pay our landlords,” a student says.
