Judgment No. CCZ 7/16 5 Const. Application No. CCZ 17/15 “4.

(2) The obligations imposed by this Constitution are binding on every person, natural or juristic, including the State and all executive, legislative and judicial institutions and agencies of government at every level, and must be fulfilled by them.” Also relevant for present purposes is s 47 of the Constitution which recognises the existence of rights other than those contained in the Declaration of Rights: “This Chapter does not preclude the existence of other rights and freedoms that may be recognised or conferred by law, to the extent that they are consistent with this Constitution.” As I have already indicated, the specific relief sought by the applicants relates to the alleged violation of their daughters’ freedom of conscience and religion, right to protection against discrimination and right to education, as enshrined in ss 60, 56 and 75 of the Constitution.
