South Africa commemorates National Disability Rights Awareness Month annually between 3 November to 3 December.. This year’s theme is a Disability Inclusive, Barrier-Free South Africa by 2030: BE THE LEGACY! South Africa has a history tainted by different forms of discrimination, based on the like of race, gender to name a few, some of which still persist today. But many people today still also face discrimination on the basis of their disability. But many times when the debate around transformation comes up, exclusion of the disabled, particularly in the workplace and in education, hardly forms part of those discussions. So this morning on the talking Point we ask: How do we include issues of disability in the transformation discourse?
