Section 7(2) of the Constitution obliges the State to “respect, protect, promote and fulfil” the rights entrenched in the Bill of Rights. To do so necessitates that the government has sustained access to adequate finance. Financial constraints in the public treasury will hinder the State’s ability to achieve social justice through the fulfilment of, inter alia, socio-economic rights. Unless the problem of strained governmental resources is overcome, the aspiration of a fully transformed society with human dignity, freedom and equality for all will have a hollow ring.enLabour lawTax Administration ActHuman rightsSouth AfricaCorruptionArticle
