Introductions
Resoketswe Lebjane foundation is a non-profit organisation founded in 2016 and got registered with department of social development on the 7th of December 2017. Our organisation came in response due to a high rate of human rights being violated in variance ways. We realise that there was a big gap between marginalised people and access to justice. Many people lack information about the constitution of South Africa. As Resoketswe Lebjane foundation we render effective basic legal advice and paralegal services to individuals or community groups. Our organisation is operating in the deepest rural area of Ehlanzeni district under Bushbuckridge municipality. Our primary targets are found at the villages. People in Bushbuckridge have to travel long distance to access legal consultations. Majority of the people can’t afford to pay the taxi fare makes it difficult for them to access the services due to economically challenges. Our centre has a capacity to supply the communities of Bushbuckridge with legal information. Most of our work we do it outside the office by doing door to door campaigns, community workshops and community dialogues. We are the affiliated with community advice office South Africa as a member.
