About the Exhibition

The Centre for the Constitutional Transformation of South Africa

The FW de Klerk Foundation decided in 2021 to establish the Centre for the Constitutional Transformation of South Africa to provide an audio-visual presentation of the constitutional transformation of South Africa and to highlight the key importance, to all South Africans, of the 1996 Constitution. The exhibition was completed in 2024 and opens to the public in 2025.

The Centre's Goals:

Preserve, acquire, research and disseminate information relating to South Africa’s constitutional transformation;
Commemorate South Africa’s negotiated transformation from white minority rule to non-racial constitutional democracy;
Promote, advance and propagate the Constitution and the values on which it is based – particularly among young South Africans;
Provide a forum for the discussion of constitutional issues; and to
Share South Africa’s experience in conflict resolution and constitution-making.

Our Approach:

Objective: The Centre will provide an objective overview of the constitutional transformation process.
Online: The Centre’s audio-visual exhibition will be available online.
Youth-Oriented: The Centre will develop special programmes to inform young people about the Constitution, including its vision for South Africa.
Open: To small groups, students and scholars upon appointment and invitation.

The CCTSA exhibition will be open to the public in 2025.

“The Foundation will do everything it can to preserve and promote the heritage of our negotiated transition from the injustices of minority racial domination to the vision of constitutional justice and freedom in our constitution. This was not a victory for this party or that party. It was a victory for us all. All of us played indispensable roles in achieving what was the most remarkable accomplishment in our long and troubled history.”

FW de Klerk – Cape Town Press Club, 1 October 2020
