#FixTheState
“Services must be provided impartially, fairly, equitably and without bias” – Section 195 (1) (d) of The Constitution
#UniteBehind has taken a proactive stance against the scourge of state capture, directing efforts toward rectifying systemic issues plaguing entities like PRASA and Eskom. These entities’ inefficiencies have disproportionately affected the most vulnerable segments of South Africa’s populace.
Our Goals
- We aim to confront and dismantle the parasitic networks thriving on looting our nation’s economy.
- We seek to educate and engage communities across South Africa, shedding light on the profound implications of State Capture.
- It’s imperative to contribute to rebuilding the credibility and independence of our criminal justice system.
How We Do It
We do not fear the courts. We use the law boldly to challenge corruption and uphold justice through targeted legal interventions, with the constitutional values at our core.
