CASAC (Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution) is classified as a
campaign organisation because it fits several key aspects described by Tech and Yeomans

influence public policy, and mobilises public opinion to achieve its goals. CASAC’s primary
mandate is to ensure that the South African Constitution is upheld and not violated by any state
institution. This involves:
• Specific Agenda: CASAC focuses on constitutional advancement and protection, clearly
defining its mission and goals.
• Influence on Public Policy: CASAC engages in activities that aim to shape and
influence governmental policies to align with constitutional principles.
• Public Mobilisation: CASAC mobilises public opinion and support to hold state
institutions accountable for constitutional violations.
• Advocacy and Awareness: CASAC conducts advocacy campaigns to raise awareness
about constitutional issues and the importance of constitutional adherence.
