Kollapen Bids Farewell to the SAHRC

The mood was upbeat this afternoon as the South African Human Rights Commission (HRC) bid farewell to its chairperson, Jody Kollapen.

Kollapen, who will be leaving the commission at the end of this month together with four other commissioners because their term of office has expired, reflected on his chairpersonship. He further said for him, the cases of the African National Congress Youth League chairperson, Julius Malema, and of the Congress of the South African Trade Unions’ Zwelinzima Vavi, were challenging.

Kollapen noted that though South Africans are aware of their rights, there is a lot that still needed to be done to educate the poor and the vulnerable about human rights.
