Legal&You February
Know your rights
March is a time for us to reflect on the rights that protect us and ensure vital services such as access to healthcare and a dignified funeral for our loved ones are always made available.
Darren Cohen - General Manager
27 February 2022In our latest Legal&You edition, we shine a light on our constitution which is the foundation of democracy in South Africa. It embodies the rights of all people in our country and asserts the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom.
We explore dignity after death by protecting the sanctity of human remains. A human being is entitled to receive ethical treatment, respected and valued in all phases of life, even at death.
We discuss your rights as a consumer and offer you guidance on how to safeguard yourself in the marketplace. Lastly, we unpack key economic and tax highlights from the annual budget speech delivered by Minister Enoch Godongwana.
We hope that you find these articles insightful. If you have been forwarded this newsletter, you can click here to sign up and receive future editions.
