Lectures

The Helen Suzman Foundation seeks to promote constitutional liberal democracy and human rights. As an active member of South African civil society, The Helen Suzman Foundation contributes to debates on contemporary events and institutional challenges that form part of efforts to consolidate democracy.
It is with great pleasure that the Helen Suzman Foundation, in association with its partners, the Gordon Institute of Business Science, the Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies and Research at UCT, and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty, presents you with this copy of Judge Meyer Joffe’s Lecture.
This is the second lecture in honour of Helen Suzman. These Lectures seek to honour not only Helen’s extraordinary contribution to public life as a very public figure in Parliament, but they also seek to uphold the values which she brought to public life in and out of Parliament. These values embody amongst others, informed and reasoned discourse, fairness and equity and above all the protection of individual human rights.
