Popular Education
We produce popular education material to allow for a clearer understanding of South Africa’s political and electoral systems.

Litigation
We initiate litigation, as a last resort, in order to ensure that the constitutional principles of transparency, inclusiveness and accountability remain the basis of our political and electoral systems.
