Acknowledgements

"The entire staff at the Community Law Centre (CLC) have at some stage assisted with the production of this book.  Without their commitment and encouragement, Amalungelo Oluntu/Human Rights would never have been produced.  Acknowledgements are due to the following people:

   Nkosana Nkosi, Vusi Nkosi and Themba Tshabalala began the work of making the Universal Declaration of Human Rights understandable to all people, whatever their level of literacy...

    Rural paralegals, their paralegal committees and communities helped with workshopping the pictures and text.  Nqutu community members and school pupils gave especially valuable insights...

   The book would not have been possible without Grant Cresswell who patiently drew and redrew the illustrations to ensure that the pictures would effectively communicate to rural people essential information about rights....

   Finally, the CLC thanks its funders for making this book possible and notes particularly Richards Bay Minerals' contribution."
