TOM GERALD DALY ABSTRACT: Why has the Constitutional Court of South Africa never cited the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights? The two courts appear to be natural allies, having both elaborated a robust jurisprudence promoting civil-political and socio-economic rights, accountability, political participation, and good governance However, despite the African Court having issued a raft of landmark merits judgments since June 2013, the Constitutional Court has yet to cite its jurisprudence This article attempts to account for this apparent lacuna in South African case-law, placing it against the Constitutional Court’s overall approach to citing international law and courts, and suggesting a range of possible explanatory factors, including: the state’s position as a ‘reluctant regionalist’; institutional factors (such as the Constitutional Court’s possible preference to retain constitutional supremacy and adjudicative autonomy, and tendency to more readily cite non-African jurisprudence); and broader structural factors (such as a lack of citations in submissions to the Court) It is argued that this matters for two reasons First, it may possibly deprive the Constitutional Court of sources that could enrich its

    NB This is a WORD document, you are more than Welcome to forward it to anyone you wish, but please could you forward it by merely “attaching” it as a WORD document. Contact details For Anne Lapedus Brest [email protected] [email protected]. 011 783.2237 082 452 7166 cell DISCLAIMER. This article has been written from my memories of S.Africa from 48 years ago, and if A Shul, or Hotel, or a Club is not mentioned, it doesn’t mean that they didn’t exist, it means, simply, that I don’t remember them. I can’t add them in, either, because then the article would not be “My Memories” any more. MEMORIES OF JOHANNESBURG, CITY OF GOLD Written and Compiled By © ANNE LAPEDUS BREST 4th February 2009, Morningside, Sandton, S.Africa On the 4th February 1961, when I was 14 years old, and my brother Robert was 11, our family came to live in Jhb. We had left Ireland, land of our birth, leaving behind our beloved Grandparents, family, friends, and a very special and never-to-be-forgotten little furry friend, to start a new life in South Africa, land of Sunshine and Golden opportunity…………… The Goldeneh Medina…... We came out on the “Edinburgh Castle”, arriving Cape Town 2nd Feb 1961. We did a day tour of Chapmans Peak Drive, Muizenberg, went to somewhere called the “Red Sails” and visited our Sakinofsky/Yodaiken family in Tamboerskloof. We arrived at Park Station (4th Feb 1961), Jhb, hot and dishevelled after a nightmarish train ride, breaking down in De Aar and dying of heat.
