Yizozodwa Dlamini, who is completing an LLM in Constitutional Litigation, received the South African Journal on Human Rights (SAJHR) Top-Up Bursary, a highly competitive award presented annually to postgraduate students at South African public universities whose research advances constitutional law, human rights, justice and related fields.
