Since 2013, the SAHRC has sought to promote an awareness and understanding of the impact of business on human rights in South Africa. The SAHRC seeks to build on its past activities and improve collaboration between the State, business, and civil society, to progressively strengthen the responsibility business carries in respect of human rights.

The Dialogue is intended to further the SAHRC’s mandate in promoting and protecting human rights by improving collaboration between the State, business and civil society on certain pressing business and human rights issues. The dialogue further seeks to distil key human rights issues emanating from business sectors in South Africa and enhance public understanding and awareness of the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders in upholding and protecting human rights.

A Press Briefing will be held at 13:20 PM to 14:00 PM on the 13th March 2018.

The press briefing will be hosted as follows:

Venue:         The Capital Moloko Hotel, 160 Helen Road, Strathavon, Sandton, 2031
Date:           13th March 2018
Time:           13:20 PM to 14:00 PM 07:30 to 08:30
