Parliament, Thursday 23 November 2017 – The work of the High Level Panel on Assessment of Key Legislation and Acceleration of Fundamental Change can be accessed on https://www.parliament.gov.za/high-level-panel. The special site contains the Panel’s full report, an executive summary of the report and several other documents related to the Panel’s assessment.
The Panel embarked on a series of public hearings, roundtables and calls for written public submissions throughout the country to hear from people: Have the laws of our democracy and their application helped or hindered us in realising the kind of society envisaged in our Constitution? What are the gaps? Are there too many laws? Are many of them too complicated?
The Bill of Rights guarantees the right to assemble, demonstrate, picket and present petitions as long as this is done in a peaceful way and the protesters are unarmed.
