PART 1| Equality | SA Law
On July 7, 2014 / Leave a comment
“We believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity.” – From the Preamble to the Constitution of South Africa.
South Africa has one of the most progressive constitutions in the world, yet very few foreigners and locals know their rights. During a time of change in terms of the new South African Immigration laws, we at Initiate Immigration feel that it is vital to familiarize yourself with your rights.
Starting with what is probably the most important right in the greatly cultural diverse South Africa:
1. Equality
Equality includes the full and equal enjoyment of all rights and freedoms.
The state may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone, on one or more grounds, including race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth. No person may unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone, on one or more grounds.
For advice and guidance with your immigration process to South Africa, feel free to contact us on: contact@initiateimmigration.com.
