The document discusses the South African Constitution and how it establishes principles of equality, dignity, and freedom for all people. It acknowledges that people with disabilities face barriers to participating fully in society due to inaccessibility, and establishes the concept of reasonable accommodation to promote inclusion. Case law has upheld the need to reasonably accommodate employees with disabilities to restore their dignity and prevent unfair discrimination. Employers are obligated to accommodate employees' disabilities to allow them to retain their jobs and sense of identity wherever possible.
