The aim of this work remains to set out the basic principles of
South African private law systematically, in clear unmistakable
language, and as comprehensively as is possible in a single volume.
Over the years, Wille's principles has appealed to judges,
practitioners and students alike, and this edition is also written
with the needs of these groups in mind. This edition, of which Dale
Hutchison was general editor, was a notable success in this regard,
and we have sought to follow its example of balancing the retention
of the basic structure of the work with innovation in the treatment
of its subject matter and the dissemination of original research.
We have nevertheless as far as possible maintained the very useful
practice in previous editions of citing the older, original
authority for a proposition alongside contemporary sources. Many of
the changes were necessitated or inspired by the Constitution,
which has radically altered the foundations of our legal system.
The impact of the Bill of Rights on private law has been
significant and is growing, via both the horizontal application of
fundamental rights and their legislative implementation and
elaboration. This is reflected in the structure and content of the
new introductory general part as well as in the text of virtually
every chapter. Importantly, the constitution has given new
prominence to indigenous customary law, and in this edition we have
sought, where possible in and relevant for a work of this nature,
to reflect its status as equal partner of the common law. This has
led to major changes in almost all of the chapters on Persons and
the Family. The frequency of far-reaching judicial changes to the
law combined with the uncertainties of legislative timetables to
necessitate several significant revisions during the final stages
of preparation for publication.
Justice and Reconciliation in Post-Apartheid South Africa assesses
the transitional processes under way since the early 1990s to
create a stable and just society. Change in South Africa is often
credited to the efforts of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
(TRC), but the work of this institution forms but a facet of a much
broader picture. This book looks at the steps which accompanied and
followed the TRC's activities, such as land restitution,
institutional reforms and social and cultural initiatives.
Thematically, it interlinks the TRC's concerns over truth and
reconciliation with an analysis of the concepts of justice,
accountability, harm and reconciliation and with competing
perceptions of what these notions entail in the South African
context. Bringing together international and South African scholars
whose work has focused on these themes, the contributions provide a
cohesive and inspiring analysis of South Africa's response to its
unjust past.

This volume pays tribute to the constitutional jurisprudence of Justice Laurie Ackermann, now retired from the Constitutional Court of South Africa.
The South African Constitution pushes against the limits of some of the great jurisprudential traditions of both the West and Africa, and has been assigned such a crucial transformational role that it has been at the forefront of attempts to connect law to the pursuit of emancipation. Justice Ackermann has played a leading role in the development of a suitable jurisprudence.
In focusing specifically on the relationship between dignity and freedom in the post-apartheid legal order, the essays collected here not only provide a critical perspective on a central theme in South Africa’s developing constitutional law, but also bring into view emerging answers to fundamental jurisprudential questions of growing international prominence.
