South Africa's 1996 'Final' Constitution is widely recognised as
the crowning achievement of the country's dramatic transition to
democracy. This transition began with the unbanning of the
liberation movements and release of Nelson Mandela from prison in
February 1990. This book presents the South African Constitution in
its historical and social context, providing students and teachers
of constitutional law and politics an invaluable resource through
which to understand the emergence, development and continuing
application of the supreme law of South Africa. The chapters
present a detailed analysis of the different provisions of the
Constitution, providing a clear, accessible and informed view of
the constitution's structure and role in the new South Africa. The
main themes include: a description of the historical context and
emergence of the constitution through the democratic transition;
the implementation of the constitution and its role in building a
new democratic society; the interaction of the constitution with
the existing law and legal institutions, including the common law,
indigenous law and traditional authorities; as well as a focus on
the strains placed on the new constitutional order by both the
historical legacies of apartheid and new problems facing South
Africa. Specific chapters address the historical context, the
legal, political and philosophical sources of the constitution, its
principles and structure, the bill of rights, parliament and
executive as well as the constitution's provisions for cooperative
government and regionalism. The final chapter discusses the
challenges facing the Constitution and its aspirations in a
democratic South Africa.The book is written in an accessible style,
with an emphasis on clarity and concision. It includes a list of
references for further reading at the end of each chapter.
