The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Paperback, 4th Revised edition)

In the last decade of the 20th century, South Africa underwent a remarkable transformation which culminated in the country's first democratic elections in 1994, and the adoption of a Constitution that is among the most progressive in the world. In the ten years since then, the Constitution has shaped South African law, guided the development of democratic institutions and informed social policy. The full text of the Constitution, with an entrenched Bill of Rights at its heart, is reproduced in this title. An introduction places the Act in context. Some pertinent facts about the country and its population are supplied, as well as contact details for those wishing to visit Parliament or the Constitutional Court.
