Message from the Chairman

When we established the Foundation in
1999 my vision was to create an organisation
that would be able to promote the causes that
I had supported during my presidency. The
two primary causes that we identified were
the upholding of the Constitution that we had
negotiated between 1990 and 1996 - and the
nurturing of positive relationships between
the communities that make up our vibrant
multicultural society. I felt that even though I
had retired from active politics I had a residual
duty to all those who supported constitution-
al transformation while I was president to do
everything I could to uphold the solemn consti-
tutional agreements that we had negotiated.
I am happy to say - 13 years later - that
the Foundation is fully playing the role that
we envisaged at that time. It is able to do so
because of the rights and freedoms that we
helped to negotiate into our
new Constitution. It is able to
make use of the right to freedom
of expression to participate
vigorously in the national debate;
it is using the courts and the

Executive Director’s Report

“During 2011-2012 the Foundation
and its Centre for Constitutional Rights
continued to make a substantial contribution
to constitutional governance and the promo-
tion of multiculturalism in South Africa.
We achieved this by monitoring develop-
ments that might affect the Constitution; by
participating vigorously in the national debate;
by networking with civil society and by making
use of the courts, parliamentary committees,
the Human Rights Commission and the Public
Protector.
We published approximately one article per
week in the national media and participated in
numerous radio and TV interviews.
The Centre for Constitutional Rights made 12
oral and written submissions to parliamentary
portfolio committees on various bills with
constitutional implications. We also made full
use of the courts and Chapter 9 organisations.
During the year we were involved in litigation
as amicus curiae in the case of The Cape Bar university level and convened a meeting of leading organisations to
