Most of the research into what constitutes effective leadership emanates from the United States and is not very useful in an African context. Africa is a continent of extraordinary cultural, geographic, economic and political diversity, featuring largely emerging economies and rapid political, economic and social development.

Global Business Management in Emerging Markets – An African Imperative seeks to set leadership theory in the African context. It takes into account typical African circumstances, values and beliefs, designed for the development of leaders’ skills and provides practical, real-life examples, exercises and case studies.

This title deals with the three important branches of the law relating to security. Within a small compass it analyses in critical detail the governing rules. In particular, it is a practical guide to current practice.

The late Chief justice of South Africa, Pius Langa, was a remarkable man. He achieved so much in his life and touched many people with his quiet dignity, his generosity and his sparkling humour. As a lawyer, he had a profound impact on the establishment of South Africa's new democracy and the adoption of the country's Constitution. Through his work on the Constitutional court, he charted a path that would allow the country to reach what he called the 'vision of the Constitution'. As a man, he served as an example to many: He was strong, committed, empathetic, thoughtful and kind. A transformative justice: Essays in honour of Pius Langa and Acta Juridica 2015 pay tribute to this remarkable man and lawyer. The book has three sections: first, a series of personal tributes to Justice Langa; second, reflections on the work of the Constitutional court under Langa's leadership as well as aspects of his philosophy as a judge; and third, explorations of a variety of specific themes in his judgments, writings and speeches. The contributions to A transformative justice are written by eminent judges, academics and practitioners, many of whom worked closely with Langa. The book addresses a broad range of practical and theoretical topics, including transformative constitutionalism, judicial dissent, the role of the people in constitutionalism, and legal education, as well as the areas of customary law, contract law, delict, administrative law, criminal law and procedure, and the protection of rights to equality, freedom of religion and culture.

The constitutional entrenchment and protection of property rights has always been a difficult and controversial issue. With the introduction of a new, democratic Constitution in 1993, South African lawyers were forced to join the debate on constitutional property, particularly in a setting where restitution and land reform are important goals of the sociopolitical transformation process. Given the situation and the nature of the South African Bill of Rights, it was clear that a comparative study of constitutional property law was necessary. This book started out as a casebook, the idea being to collect the most important cases on constitutional property law from various jurisdictions, but because of the volume of important constitutional property cases from around the world, this idea was abandoned. The result is a book that consists of three parts. The first chapter contains general discussion of comparative, theoretical and analytical issues, and the author explains the way in which the book is structured.;The second part of the book consists of 18 chapters on jurisdictions where the property clause has generated substantial case law, and jurisdictions that merit extensive analysis and discussion. Each of these chapters gives a general introduction, an historical overview if necessary, an analysis of the relevant property clause and a discussion of the case law. The third part of the book consists of a collection of 86 property clauses from jurisdictions not included in earlier chapters, sometimes without discussion and in other instances with very brief discussion of either the property clause or the case law.

Understanding Investment Law in Zambia deals with both the domestic law and international legal norms pertaining to foreign direct investment. A wide array of topics is covered in this book, including the contractual, legislative and treaty-based protections available to investors as they consider entrusting their capital to another jurisdiction. These protections are considered through the prism of the Zambian investment climate, and give a glimpse into both historical and current issues.

This work, part of the Augsburger Rechtsstudien 88 series, contains research results on questions concerning the effects of legality maxims and the regulation of power in various legal fields from a South African and German perspective, which were developed in cooperation of the Universities of Augsburg and Johannesburg. Current topics are introduced by scientists from Germany and then reflected by South African colleagues. This leads to a better understanding of unresolved legal issues of both legal systems.

Independent guarantees, payable on demand (so-called demand guarantees) are the preferred security instruments in complex construction and infrastructure projects. To the beneficiary, demand guarantees offer immediate access to cash without having to prove breach of contract, (insufficient) performance, damages, or the extent thereof. Due to the independent nature of demand guarantees, there is a risk of abusive or fraudulent calls. This comparative study analyses, in depth, the use of such guarantees in the construction industry, and the legal situation in South African, English, and German law regarding abusive calls on demand guarantees. The book explores typical scenarios in construction, and illustrates measures to prevent or mitigate abusive calls. The book speaks to practitioners working in construction or the financing of construction (such as construction professionals, bankers, attorneys), and to academics and students who have an interest in advanced studies of construction and construction law, deals and guarantees, and finance.

In hierdie werk word gekonsentreer op die gemene onderliggende beginsels van enersyds die verskillende vorme van saaklike sekerheidsregte waar telkens sprake is van 'n bepaalde saak as vermoensobjek waarop die skuldeiser 'n beperkte saaklike sekerheidsreg vestig en in sommige gevalle, danksy sodanige beperkte saaklike sekerheidsreg oor die aldus geidentifiseerde saak van die skuldenaar, 'n preferente en versekerde aanspraak op verhaal uit die opbrengs van daardie sekerheidsobjek het ter voldoening van sy uitstaande skuldvordering. 'n Skuldeiser kan andersyds ook met sy skuldenaar ooreenkom om vermoensobjekte, anders as die objekte van saaklike regte van die skuldenaar, as sekerheidsobjekte te identifiseer. Die vestiging van 'n saaklike sekerheidsreg verander nie die saldo van boedelbates van die skuldenaar waarteen sy skuldeisers verhaal kan neem nie - dit plaas hoogstens 'n kordon om die verhaalbare waarde van die geidentifiseerde sekerheidsobjekte ten gunste van die versekerde preferente skuldeiser. By persoonlike sekerheidsregte word daarteenoor verhaal geneem op bates wat aan 'n ander regsubjek as die primere skuldenaar behoort en wat dus nie deel van die saldo van die skuldenaar se bates vorm nie.

In 1994, Malawi adopted an unusually progressive Constitution, unprecedented in the country's political and constitutional history. 'Human Rights under the Malawian Constitution' takes stock of the human rights jurisprudence generated by the new Constitution and the new judiciary in Malawi over the past sixteen years. The book examines the largely unreported Malawian cases and legislation and systematically analyses them with a view to constructing a coherent corpus of human rights jurisprudence, which is essential to consolidating democracy, establishing the foundation for the rule of law and ushering in an era of accelerated development in Malawi. The author draws on a wealth of international and comparative jurisprudence, including that from other African countries, without detracting from the main objective of constructing a Malawian brand of jurisprudence. Ultimately the book reveals that it is possible for human rights to grow even in underdeveloped countries. 'Human Rights under the Malawian Constitution' is intended for use by judges, lawyers, legal scholars, students, civil society, law reform officers, human rights institutions and comparative law scholars. _______________________________________________ Danwood Mzikenge Chirwa is Associate Professor of Law and Head of the Department of Public Law at the University of Cape Town. He has published widely in the fields of constitutional and human rights law. _______________________________________________ ' This book] makes a significant contribution to African constitutional law. The author has engaged in a careful and systematic treatment of all of the clauses contained in Malawi's Bill of Rights, as well as the jurisprudence which has been developed by its courts over the past 16 years .... Accordingly, this is a work which anyone who wishes to engage in African constitutional law in general and Malawian law in particular will be required to use as a major source of reference.' Dennis Davis, Judge of the High Court of South Africa; Honorary Professor of Law, University of Cape Town ' This book] fills a gap in the literature of human rights in the region with its excellent examination of the Malawian provisions. It is well written and will appeal to a wider readership than Malawi.' Boyce Wanda, Professor of Law, University of Fort Hare
