Rallying to the constitution

A group of struggle stalwarts and civil society organisations have called on citizens to defend SA’s constitution because it was under threat. ANC veteran Sheila Sisulu, a speaker on behalf of an umbrella body called Defend our Democracy, said: “Our future as a democracy is only as secure as our refusal to tolerate the destabilisation of the state and our unyielding defence of the constitution, the foundational creed of this nation and the supreme law of the land.” The organisation said: “We, therefore, call on all people of goodwill to vigorously oppose this threat to our democracy and to defend the abiding values enshrined in the constitution.”
