In the past decade, South Africa has enacted a new Constitution and more than 800 new laws designed to protect the human rights and dignity of all of our people. As a result, all South African institutions, including faith communities, are operating in a changed legal environment.

Legal Obligations: What Faith Communities Need to Know is intended to highlight the new legal responsibilities incumbent on churches and faith-based organisations and assist them to comply appropriately.
