On 21 August 2023, the University of Venda (UNIVEN) and the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) established a formal working relationship. This was done through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed and celebrated. As an institution within the University of Venda, the Ismail Mahomed Centre for Human and Peoples’ Rights (IMCHPR) is the administrative secretariat for the implementation of the MOU. The MOU aims to develop a framework for cooperation and effective implementation of joint activities around the promotion of human rights within the Limpopo province. This will be achieved through awareness campaigns, research publications, and advocacy. The purpose is to promote rights and protect individuals, especially those within local communities facing human rights violations and social injustices.
