Description
This book is about constitutional development in South Africa. South Africa has been entangled in a prolonged political and constitutional impasse for the greater part of the twentieth century. Since the establishment of the Union of South Africa in 1910, political forces in the black and white communities have been at loggerheads. A political culture of divide-and-rule versus liberation became entrenched in the South African political approach. The hostility and antagonism towards political matters which resulted from these conflicting attitudes will take years and even decades to rectify.
