THE HILL HIGHLIGHTS

Constitutional Literacy Workshop

To wrap up Women’s Month, Constitution Hill had the privilege of hosting a Constitutional Literacy Workshop in partnership with We The People SA.

Designed to equip the next generation, the workshop focused on educating future leaders about their constitutional rights, the vital importance of understanding them, and how to actively apply them in everyday life. Students engaged in interactive learning sessions, took a guided tour of our historical site, and received educational resource kits to share within their schools and communities.

A massive thank you to our incredible ConHill team, educators, and partners for facilitating such impactful, empowering sessions for the guardians of our future leaders!

70th Commemoration Of Women’s Month Dialogue @The Women’s Jail

We wrapped up Women’s Month with a powerful 70th Commemoration Dialogue at the historic Women’s Jail, Constitution Hill, in partnership with the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development and We The People SA.

Bringing together civil society organizations, educators, youth, and leaders across generations, the dialogue focused on the critical issues affecting women today moving beyond discussions to actionable solutions.

The day featured inspiring performances by the Positive Vibrations Foundation of Hope for Girls, alongside key remarks from:

Ms. Leah Mabusela – Acting CEO, Constitution Hill
Mr. Andries Nel, MP – Deputy Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development
Ms. Tshidiso Lencoasa – Budget Analyst, SECTION 27
Busisiwe Nxumalo – Board Member, National Youth Development Agency (NYDA)

A facilitated panel featuring representatives from the Legal Practice Council (LPC), the Commission for Gender Equality (CGE), and the Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities led critical reflections on justice and equality, followed by an interactive educational quiz on women's rights hosted by the ConHill Education Team.
