South African Statutes And Other Legislation
Modern South African legislation reflects South African society's attempt to emerge from the deep bias and prejudice embedded in apartheid legislation, by passing a variety of laws dealing with rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, and by developing institutions upon which society and each of its individuals can depend in making the ideals of the South African Constitution a reality. Yet, the content and quality of South African statutes also provides us with a picture of South African society's struggle to develop and maintain the skills and expertise necessary to developing a full body of law that is properly commenced, properly amended, and not riddled with errors, upon which the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act No. 108 of 1996, depends for implementation.
