In order to improve access to justice to those whose human rights have been violated, today the SA Human Rights Commission signed a memorandum of understanding with a Johannesburg-based non-profit organization, Pro bono, which facilitates access to free legal services. The HRC’s Vincent Moaga says that those seeking assistance from the human rights commission will now be able to make use of the services provided by ProBono.Org.
“We always say that we’ve got resource constraints. This will enable us to have a wider choice for people to go to when they need assistance with human rights challenges they experience,” said Moaga.
Even though ProBono.Org is based in Johannesburg, Moaga confirmed that there are branches all over the province.
“We are broadening options. In addition to the availability of the Human Rights Commission there will be Pro Bono as well.
