This 5th edition of the Constitution Hill Human Rights festival takes place at a time when our country is in crisis and our Constitutional vision of social justice and human rights is being stretched to breaking point. For this reason, the theme of the festival is Seize the Power! Seize your power!
Each year the festival unites NGOs, social justice organizations, think tanks media partners, and the public around human rights issues. The event which is free to the public presents one day dedicated to skills building for social justice organisations and two jam-packed days open to the public offering a market; food stalls; exhibitions; art; showcases; poetry; theatre; film; live performances and a children’s program.
Pre events for the festival include a virtual live stream dialogue – We, the People in Conversation featuring Former Public Protector, Adv Thuli Madonsela and reigning Miss SA, Ndavi Nokeri hosted by the Constitution Hill Trust. Catch it live on Facebook at Constitution Hill SA.
Our Constitution foregrounds the collective, the “we”, in its opening words in recognition that without the people acting in solidarity the end of apartheid and the advent of our constitutional democracy would not have been possible. It is also true that the vision set out in our Constitution for South Africa will remain unrealised if we, the people do not collectively seize our power once again towards making the Constitution real.
Open to the public on the 25th and 26th of March 2023 – The festival is FREE and opens at 10h00 with programmes running into the evening on both nights. Constitution Hill provides free, safe undercover parking
