Child poverty and children’s rights of access to food and basic nutrition in South Africa : A contextual, jurisprudential and policy analysis

Chirwa, Danwood Mzikenge (Community Law Centre, University of the Western Cape, 2009)

Abstract:

The rights to food and basic nutrition have been implemented rather unsystematically in South Africa through a hodgepodge of policies and indirectly by legislation. In view of the dearth of jurisprudence, this paper sought to tease out the meaning of children’s right of access to food as well as their right to basic nutrition, to analyse the significance of, and correlation between, these two rights, and to consider their implications for South African law and policy.

Engaging meaningfully with government on socio-economic rights : A focus on the right to housing

Chenwi, Lilian; Tissington, Kate (Community Law Centre, University of the Western Cape, 2010)

Abstract:

To make sure that service delivery is effective and has a positive impact on people’s quality of life, it is important to have meaningful engagement between communities and the government. South Africa’s Constitution makes provision for individuals and communities to take part in service delivery processes and decisions. This right is important in the fight against poverty, inequality and marginalisation. Some people do not know that their right to participate is protected in the Constitution, in South African legislation and in international law. They also do not know the key principles about meaningful engagement set out by the courts, especially the Constitutional Court. This booklet focuses mainly on the right to housing when it explains the objectives, subject and process of meaningful engagement.
