    abstract = {It is beyond polemics that human rights discourses commonly 
  conceptualise states as the primary duty-bearers of the normative obligations 
  they engender. As with every human right, the citizen’s 
  rights to basic social amenities and services entail the obligations to respect, 
  protect, promote and fulfill. The overarching importance of this is that the 
  state must take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available 
  resources, to provide and deliver adequate, basic and dignifying services to 
  the citizens. By recognising the citizen’s 
  rights to public services, the eradication of poverty becomes not merely a policy 
  choice for the state but a legally binding responsibility for which it is accountable. 
  These rights are well articulated in chapter 2 of the Bill of Rights in the 
  constitution of the Republic South African, 1996. They are right to housing. 
  Admittedly, a lot of people have benefitted immensely from social economics 
  right by receiving services in the areas of housing, healthcare, social grants 
  and improved sanitation, family support, education, fair labour relations, food 
  security, water and electricity. The constitution and other pieces of legislation 
  have remedial mechanisms against the state because the international legal order 
  hoists human rights as norms that are primarily the responsibility of each state 
  failure which the state will be held accountable.}
