  • Hate Crimes Against Black Lesbian South Africans: Where Race, Sexual Orientation and Gender Collide (Part Ii)
    HATE CRIMES AGAINST BLACK LESBIAN SOUTH AFRICANS: WHERE RACE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER COLLIDE (PART II) Kamban Naidoo BA LLB LLM Senior Lecturer, Criminal and Procedural Law University of South Africa (UNISA) Michelle Karels LLB LLM Senior Lecturer, Criminal and Procedural Law University of South Africa (UNISA) SUMMARY This article, which is the second of a two-part submission, examines the South African legal position pertaining to sexual offences and murder as a continuation of the theme introduced in Part One. The authors then examine the concept of motive before providing a brief overview of hate crime legislation and/or policy in the United States of America and Germany. The core of the article examines three possible routes for South Africa to curb hate crime. Firstly, the creation of substantive hate crime law in the form of legislation, secondly, the amendment of current legislation to incorporate protection against this form of crime and thirdly, the retention of the current status quo coupled with the roll-out of civil society initiatives to curb hate- motivated crime. The conclusion of the article provides recommendations from a civil society and criminal justice perspective. A INTRODUCTION This article seeks to extend the foundational framework laid in Part I within the context of criminal legal doctrine generally and the potential for hate- crime legislation in South Africa specifically. At the time of writing, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development had appointed a task team to investigate hate-crime legislation and to submit proposals with regard to such legislation in South Africa. 1 The research is, however, still in 1 Anonymous “Speech by Deputy Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mr Andries Nel, MP, on the occasion of the official opening of the first networking session of the national task team on LGTBI Crime-related issues” October 2011 http://www.info.

An abridged version of the report is available for download as an International IDEA Discussion Paper: <http://www.idea.int/resources/analysis/assessing-the-performance-of-the-south-african-constitution.cfm>. Chapter 8. The performance of the security services Khomotso Moshikaro The purpose of this chapter is to evaluate the performance of the security services. These vital features of any state had been centrally connected to the apartheid project and, as a result, there was a need to build up and develop their legitimacy in a South African constitutional democracy. This chapter covers all those facets of the state that deal with ensuring security and fighting crime: these include, the police, the defence force, the intelligence services and the national prosecuting authority. The chapter attempts to uncover general internal goals that the constitution sought to instantiate in relation to these institutions as well as their specific goals. Their performance is evaluated against both sets of objectives. The overall picture is one where the security services have successfully been integrated into the new democratic order which is an achievement in itself though certain features of their design are less than optimal. The performance of the police against many of the goals has been particularly poor whilst political interference has undermine the independence of the National Prosecuting Authority.

The Performance of Chapter 9 Institutions Andrew Konstant © 2016 International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance This is an unedited extract from a report for International IDEA by the South African Institute for Advanced Constitutional, Public, Human Rights and International Law, a Centre of the University of Johannesburg. An abridged version of the report is available for download as an International IDEA Discussion Paper: <http://www.idea.int/resources/analysis/assessing-the-performance-of-the-south-african-constitution.cfm>. Chapter 6. The Performance of Chapter 9 Institutions Andrew Konstant 6.1. Introduction The purpose of this Chapter is to consider the performance of a unique set of institutions that were set up in terms of Chapter 9 of the South African Constitution in order to support and enhance democracy and fundamental rights. The place of these institutions within the structure of government is discussed as well as their role and key goals. The focus of the chapter will be on the Public Protector, an institution set up to engage with improper conduct of organs of state; the South African Human Rights Commission, whose task is to advance the protection of fundamental rights in South African society and the Independent Electoral Commission whose task is to manage elections and ensure they are free and fair. The design and functioning of these institutions will be evaluated against a set of overarching goals they are meant to realise as well as their own specific functions. Our analysis shows that these institutions have played a vital role in advancing the goals of the South African constitution though features of their design and performance could be enhanced in ways that are detailed in the chapter.
