We spend years learning about the Constitution and its finer details ,which ,naturally,is condered an important aspect of a well-rounded education. This is to create a sense of idealism in the impressionable minds of young students.But as we grow older we realise you don't get justice unless you are 'important'.How does the case of a woman who has been raped,whose dignity has been violated and self-respect shattered drag on and on for fifty years?!?Does our our so-called justice system expect the victim to arrive at court with her grandchildren to punish a sexual predator who has probably committed the same crime 20 times over due to lack of immediate action and punishment.This is in contrast to politicians and journalists whose cases are so highly publicised that they have to be taken up on a 'high -priority basis'. We are taught that everyone is equal before the law.But does this social equality really exist?I am not questioning the Constitution or any of its ideals but its excellence is rendered invalid when those who really need these institutions consider equality itself a luxury.
