Discussion:
CASAC is classified as a campaign organization due to several
key aspects:

advancement and protection of the South African
Constitution. This mission aligns with the characteristics of
campaign organizations, which are typically focused on
specific issues or causes.
2. Advocacy and Influence: CASAC engages in advocacy

This involves mobilizing support, raising awareness, and
applying pressure on state institutions to uphold
constitutional principles.

violations of the Constitution. These actions are designed to
