  • Constitutional Authority and Its Limitations: the Politics of Sexuality in South Africa
    South Africa Constitutional Authority and its Limitations: The Politics of Sexuality in South Africa Belinda Beresford Helen Schneider Robert Sember Vagner Almeida “While the newly enfranchised have much to gain by supporting their government, they also have much to lose.” Adebe Zegeye (2001) A history of the future: Constitutional rights South Africa’s Constitutional Court is housed in an architecturally innovative complex on Constitution Hill, a 100-acre site in central Johannesburg. The site is adjacent to Hillbrow, a neighborhood of high-rise apartment buildings into which are crowded thousands of mi- grants from across the country and the continent. This is one of the country’s most densely populated, cosmopolitan and severely blighted urban areas. From its position atop Constitu- tion Hill, the Court offers views of Hillbrow’s high-rises and the distant northern suburbs where the established white elite and increasing numbers of newly affluent non-white South Africans live. Thus, while the light-filled, colorful and contemporary Constitutional Court buildings reflect the progressive and optimistic vision of post-apartheid South Africa the lo- cation is a reminder of the deeply entrenched inequalities that continue to define the rights of the majority of people in the country and the continent. CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY AND ITS LIMITATIONS: THE POLITICS OF SEXUALITY IN SOUTH AFRICA 197 From the late 1800s to 1983 Constitution Hill was the location of Johannesburg’s central prison, the remains of which now lie in the shadow of the new court buildings. Former prison buildings include a fort built by the Boers (descendents of Dutch settlers) in the late 1800s to defend themselves against the thousands of men and women who arrived following the discovery of the area’s expansive gold deposits.

  • The Constitutional Jurisprudence of Laurie Ackermann CATHERINE O’REGAN* Constitutional Court of South Africa
    From Form to Substance: The Constitutional Jurisprudence of Laurie Ackermann CATHERINE O’REGAN* Constitutional Court of South Africa I INTRODUCTION There is one phrase that I think best captures Laurie Ackermann’s temperament as a judge. It comes from that great judge Learned Hand’s speech in Central Park in May 1944. There, Learned Hand spoke movingly of the Spirit of Liberty. ‘Liberty’, he said, is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes . What then is the spirit of liberty? I cannot define it; I can only tell you my own faith. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the mind of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias . .1 There are some judges who have a deep-seated and unshakeable faith in their own sense of justice. Disagreement with their colleagues does not deter or bother them. Their sense of justice is like a shining light which guides them in their response to disputes and their judgment-writing. Other judges labour under the burden of dissent; that anxious sense that when they differ from their colleagues, they may well be wrong; that worrying remembrance of occasions in the past when even the greatest judges have erred materially, which reminds them that they too may err and so fail in their obligation to administer justice to all. Laurie Ackermann was such a judge.

  • 1 Frank Michelman Constitutional Court Oral History Project 28Th
    Frank Michelman Constitutional Court Oral History Project 28th February 2013 Int This is an interview with Professor Frank Michelman, and it’s the 28th of February 2013. Frank, thank you so much for agreeing to participate in the Constitutional Court Oral History Project, we really appreciate your time. FM I’m very much honoured by your inviting me to participate and I’m happy to do so. Int Thank you. I’ve not had the opportunity to interview you before, and I wondered whether you could talk about early childhood memories, and some of the formative experiences that may have led you down a legal and academic professional trajectory? FM Well, that’s going to be difficult, because…because I didn’t have any notion at all prior to my senior year in college, the year before I entered law school, that I would be going to law school. I hadn’t formed, that I can recall, any plan, hope, ambition, in that direction at all. To the extent that I had any distinct career notion in mind during the years before I wound up going to law school? It would have been an academic career, possibly in the field of history, in which I was moderately interested and which was my concentration in college. I had formed a more or less definite idea of applying to graduate programs in history, and turning myself into a history professor. Probably United States history. United States history, or maybe something along the line of what’s now called the field of ideas, which I was calling intellectual history in those days.

    Zanele Majola Constitutional Court Oral History Project 24th January 2012 Int This is an interview with Zanele Majola, and it’s the 24th of January 2012. Zanele, thank you so much for agreeing to participate in the Constitutional Court Oral History Project, we really appreciate it. ZM It’s a pleasure. I’m happy to be here. Int Zanele, I wondered if we could talk about early childhood, where you were born, a bit about family background, and what are some of your experiences of growing up in South Africa when you did? ZM Alright. I was born in Durban and grew up in a township called KwaMakhutha. I was the last child of four siblings and I grew up with my mom, who is divorced, and we were sort of protected from stuff that was happening at the time. I was born in 1979. I remember very little actually about, for example what the Constitutional Court now represents, about apartheid, because you were basically growing up, going to school, back home, and my mother wasn’t very much of a political attuned person. I think it was only later on when we were witnessing toyi-toying in the late eighties, and houses being petrol bombed, that you started being aware of what was happening. I don’t know how much of it you want to know but it was only when I was in my early teens that I started becoming aware of things. I was fortunate…I don’t know whether fortunate is the right word: My elder sister went to school with Griffiths and Victoria Mxenge’s son, so when Victoria was killed we knew and we knew why it had happened.

  • Tour Operators Prospectus 2018
    TOUR OPERATORS PROSPECTUS 2018 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Nowhere can the story of South Africa's turbulent past and its extraordinary transition to democracy be told as it is at Constitution Hill. In 1995, the historic decision was taken to locate the Constitutional Court of South Africa in Johannesburg’s oldest prison site in the inner city of Johannesburg. The four separate prisons on the site are over 100 years old. They were places of horrific degradation and torture which imprisoned political prisoners but mainly thousands of ordinary black South Africans whose only crime was disobeying one of the many discriminatory laws of the day. Constitution Hill is now a national heritage site. Once a place of injustice and brutality, the site has been transformed into a place of solidarity and democracy. Home to the Women’s Gaol museum, Number Four Museum, and Old Fort Museum, Constitution Hill is open to the public for guided tours and offers informative and gripping exhibitions. The stark juxtaposition of the abuses of the past (as symbolized by the prison buildings) with the hope and enlightenment of the future (as symbolized by the Constitutional Court) lay at the heart of the Judges’ choice of this site as the permanent home of the Constitutional Court. As a result, Constitution Hill is uniquely positioned as a place where both the difficulties of the past and the possibilities of the future can be experienced. Constitution Hill launched a new website in 2016 www.conhill.org.za A self guiding APP will be launched in February 2017. TRIPADVISOR In 2016 Constitution Hill was awarded a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence as well as a Travellers Choice Award #3 of 167 things to do in Johannesburg #1 of 30 Sights & Landmarks in Johannesburg #6 Top 10 Landmarks — South Africa STO RATES Over the years, there has been an increase demand from tour operators to visit Constitution Hill on packaged tours.

  • Chapter 1 Making the Road.Fm
    INTRODUCTION HAPTER C 1 Michael Cosser, Narnia Bohler-Muller & Gary Pienaar 1Introduction 1.1 Making the road by walking The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, the final draft of which was forged over a two-year period between 1994 and 1996, assumed a particular profile in the body politic in 2016. Following the release of the Public Protector’s 2014 report on improvements to President Zuma’s Nkandla residence,1 the Constitutional Court in March 2016 declared binding her findings and recommendations about the need for the President to repay public monies spent on non-security upgrades to his residence.2 Such high-profile cases, however, can distract us from the importance of the Constitution in shaping the lives of ordinary people. In catapulting the Constitution into the limelight, the ‘Nkandla judgement’, as it is known colloquially, has created renewed interest in what meaning the Constitution has for South Africans in 2018 and beyond. The initial impetus for this book came from a public address by former Chief Justice Sandile Ngcobo. Delivered on 30 June 2016 and entitled ‘Why does the Constitution matter?’, his address began with an almost throwaway comment: that he was ‘privileged enough … to participate in constructing our foundational jurisprudence on constitutional law.’3 Ngcobo went on to say that the process of building a constitutional 1 Public Protector South Africa ‘Secure in comfort’ http://www.pprotect.org/library/ investigation_report/2013-14/Final Report 19 March 2014 pdf (accessed 23 May 2017). 2 Economic Freedom Fighters v Speaker of the National Assembly and Others 2016 (3) SA 580 (CC).
