“The Constitution contains the most important rules of our political system. It protects the rights of the people inside the country, and it explains their obligations. It defines the institutions of South Africa, what their powers are, and how they may use their powers. All South Africans must know about the Constitution and what it means for them.”
Parliament of South Africa
“We stand today before our people and humanity to present this our new basic law of the land, whose founding principles of human dignity, non-racialism and non-sexism, and whose commitment to universal adult suffrage, regular elections and multi party democracy are immutable.
This is our national soul, our compact with one another as citizens, underpinned by our highest aspirations and our deepest apprehensions.”
President Nelson Mandela, 10 December 1996
“Our future happiness and prosperity and the future security of our children depends directly on the preservation of our Constitution…
Know what your rights are; claim them and insist that the equally valid rights of all other South Africans are respected; support organisations … which are upholding the Constitution; make the Constitution a central part of your thoughts and of your lives – because, believe me, it really is. Support for the Constitution is not simply doing something for yet another good cause: it is the most appropriate and pressing protection of one’s own core interests of which I can think.”
FW de Klerk, 12 October 2009
