The Legal Resources Centre is commemorating its 30th anniversary with a series of events which will honour Dr Albertina Sisulu, Lady Felicia Kentridge and which will include an art auction to raise funds for the ongoing work of the LRC.

"Justice for All" will not only include an auction of donated artworks and signed copies of books from South Africa's most prominent artists and authors such as William Kentridge, Nadine Gordimer, Nelson Mandela and George Bizos to name just a few, but also discussions on the law in South Africa. All the donated works will be exhibited at the Goethe Institute for the duration of the week, at which time bids will be accepted through an international secure auction website. All proceeds from the auction are to go to the LRC

Taf (Tafadzwa Mukwashi) is also a participating artist, with "Behind the Basketing Truck" up for auction.
