    IMPEDIMENTS IN THE PROMOTION OF THE RIGHT TO GENDER EQUALITY IN POST- APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA by NOMTHANDAZO PATIENCE NTLAMA submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of: DOCTOR OF LAWS at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROF. A E A M THOMASHAUSEN JUNE 2010 Student number: 43205321 I declare that ‘IMPEDIMENTS IN THE PROMOTION OF THE RIGHT TO GENDER EQUALITY IN POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA’ is my own work and that all sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. SIGNATURE: MS NP NTLAMA Date: June 2010 i ABSTRACT The adoption of the 1996 Constitution in recognition of the historic imbalances that South Africa inherited from its past, affirms the commitment to the promotion of human rights including the right to equality. The emphasis on the right to equality in the Constitution and other related laws discussed in the study represents a guarantee for both men and women the right to equal treatment and benefit of the law. The point of departure is based on the premise that views the law as an instrument that has the potential to effect social change. The primary purpose is to determine various factors that are an impediment to the significance of the law for the promotion of the right to gender equality. The objective is to establish with sufficient certainty the substantive conception of the right to gender equality in post-apartheid South Africa. This dissertation examines and provides a brief overview of the development and the intersection of the principles of non-discrimination at the international and regional spheres and their influence in broadening the scope for enforcement of gender equality in South Africa.

In the morning, I was doing a feeding scheme for the poor and, when I fi nished, I went to the car. I put the key in the door, and the hijackers came. They didn’t even ask for the key. They just shot. Two bullets lodged in my body. One still remains in my spinal cord. I became crippled until, by the grace of God, I was healed. I’m a Salvationist. You see the church does not go with this politics. I was ordained in 1986 when I was called by God to serve the poor souls and to win souls for Christ. The Salvation Army didn’t want us in the ANC, so we joined the underground. As ministers, we conducted funeral services for our cadres who had been killed by police. We protected them. At the church kwaLanga, the soldiers didn’t want our members gathering, but I used to hide them. I sat there with the Bible on the table while they met. When the soldiers came in, I would stand and act as if I’m preaching. Then they would go. I’m disappointed in things now. Some of us didn’t manage to be delegates.

The venue was the Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication in Kliptown, Soweto, where the historic Freedom Charter was adopted. A total of 2300 delegates, representing the diversity of our people, participated in the Summit and subscribed to a declaration renewing their commitment to building an inclusive and cohesive society. This Summit was another step on our road to building a unified nation of people with diverse origins, histories, languages, cultures and religions. We committed ourselves to convening social-cohesion and nation- building summits at provincial, local and community level within the next twelve months. National Government will work with the provinces and municipalities to ensure that this happens in preparation for a second national summit in 2014, coinciding with the 20th Anniversary of Freedom and Democracy. This report, which summarises the proceedings of the Summit and serves as a reference document for our future work, captures the concerns and the commitments made and these will be processed as we implement the decisions of the Summit. Paul Mashatile Minister of Arts and Culture On behalf of Government, Dr Joe Phaahla, the Deputy Minister, and I would like to thank you for your contribution towards building an inclusive, non-racial and democratic society over the past 18 years.
