The South African Human Rights Commission says it has seen an increase in complaints, but financial constraints make it hard to deal with them timeously. | TebogoMonama
The SAHRC says it has seen a 13% increase in the number of reported complaints. Of the 6 092 cases reported in the 2019/2020 financial year, 75% were successfully investigated and concluded.
Deputy chairperson Fatima Chohan admitted that financial constraints were hampering the commission from dealing with complaints."We are very reliant on the number of warm bodies in our organisation. When people come to complain to us, we would require somebody to take down the statement, probably a legal advisor, to assess the legality… or whether the case has merit.
SAHRC spokesperson Gushwell Brooks said the 13% increase in the number of cases reported might be partly due to the increased advocacy work the organisation was doing.
