Throughout its existence, the ANC has promoted human rights justice and human dignity. From the days of Pixley ka Isaka Seme, we advocated for the right to a fair trial, courts which are representative of all the people and equality before the law. We advocated for access to justice for all. We understood very well that there can be no access to justice without the legal representation before a court of law. Legal Aid South Africa provides legal representation to persons, particularly, the indigent at state expense.
