Rights and Freedoms South African Style

The Constitution for the Republic of South Africa is written in stone in a monument in Freedom Square. It is a perfect Constitution  However, ensuring that each of the 10 areas of rights and freedoms is a adhered to is not easy. 

Would that the government  of Ontario take note of some of the clauses in this Constitution. Take note: "There shall be a forty-hour work week, a national minimum wage, paid annual leave, and sick leave for all workers, and maternity leave on full pay for all working mothers."
And... 
"Teachers shall have all the rights of other citizens"

Written in stone but so hard to put into practice.
