Back cover of Ukuphemba Umthethosisekelo Wakho / Creating Your Constitution, a 171-page Zulu-language / English-language handbook published in 1994 by the Community Law Centre, with support from Shell South Africa. © Copyright 1994 Community Law Centre

The Community Law Centre has since changed its name to Community Law & Rural Development Centre.  It is a South African non-governmental organisation affiliated to the University of Natal. 

English-language text on the back cover:

"Creating Your Constitution makes the constitution-making process accessible to rural South Africans. 

It is a tool to enable all citizens to understand and critically evaluate the concept and content of the Interim Constitution and to participate in the drafting of the final Constitution. 

Through the accompanying workbook, it offers a unique opportunity to people who have historically been excluded from the law and decision-making processes to submit their concerns and demands to the Constitutional Assembly, which has committed itself to a participatory drafting process.

Creating Your Constitution forms part of the Community Law Centre's ongoing empowerment programmes towards rural self-sufficiency."
