In this historic year when we celebrate the centenary of the oldest liberation movement in Africa, in the 18th year of our democracy and after 26 years of COSATU’s existence, we gather at this historic Constitutional Court – a court which is vested with the responsibility to ensure that our Constitution is upheld at all times and that all South Africans benefit from the rights enshrined in it.
