About Us
What is often termed “the South African Miracle” was not a miracle at all; rather the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, is the consequence of an intense process of struggle, negotiation, and public participation.
WeThePeopleSA was born to promote respect for the Constitution, human rights and democracy. We animate the Constitution to help bridge the gap between its values and ideals and our lived reality.
VISION
For the people of South Africa to know, own and protect the Constitution to realise its promise.
