HUMAN RIGHTS SPECIAL COMMEMORATION
Petra Institute of Development joins fellow South Africans in celebrating Human Rights Day. This day
reminds us about the sacrifices that accompanied the struggle for the attainment of democracy in
South Africa. Our democracy came with bloodshed and pain and disruption of families and
livelihoods. We take this time as Petra Institute of Development to commemorate and honour those
who fought for our liberation and the rights we enjoy today.
Our rights include:
Equality: everyone is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and benefit of the
law.
Human dignity: everyone has inherent dignity and have their dignity respected and protected.
Freedom of movement and residence: everyone has a right to freedom of movement and to reside
anywhere in the country.
Language and culture: everyone has the right to use the language and to participate in the cultural
life of their choice.
Life: everyone has the right to life.
Education: Everyone has the right -
a. to a basic education, including adult basic education; and
b. to further education, which the state, through reasonable measures, must make progressively
available and accessible.
As espoused in our constitution, Petra Institute of Development prides itself in providing training
and education to our students in all of our 11 official languages where reasonably practicable.

Personal Finance Management
All individual financial activities fall under the purview of personal finance. Personal financial
planning generally involves analysing your current financial position, predicting short-term and
long-term needs and executing a plan to fulfil those needs within individual financial constraints.
Personal finance is a very individual activity that depends largely on one's earnings, living
requirements and individual goals and desires. An understanding of Personal Finance Management
assists people to avoid falling into debt.
Who is the Personal Finance Management Course for?
Personal Finance Management is for anyone who manages finances at personal and organisational
level.
