Mixed Legal System
1.Roman LAW (Civil Law)
2.Roman Dutch LAW
3.British LAW (Common Law)
4.Indigenous LAW
5.Human Rights
Human Rights
• This Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of democracy in South Africa. It
enshrines the rights of all people in our country and affirms the
democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom.
• Chapter Two of the Constitution of South Africa contains the Bill of
Rights
• Some of the basic human right are
- Right to Equality
- Freedom from Discrimination
- Right to Life, Liberty, Personal Security
- Freedom from Slavery
- Freedom from Torture and Degrading Treatment
Government
Our Constitution contains an important democratic principle called
the separation of powers. That means that the power of the state is
divided between three different but interdependent components or arms,
namely the executive (Cabinet), the legislature (Parliament) and the
judiciary (Courts of law).
1.Legislative Authority
2.Executive Authority
3.Judicial Authority
Legislative Authority
Authority in charge of making, amending and
repealing legislation
- Parliament
- Provinces
- Municipalities
Highest authority : SA Constitution
Executive Authority
Authority to give effect to the Law, the power to
execute and enforce rules of Law
- President & Ministers (National)
- Cabinet (collectively)
- Premier & Executive Council (Provincial)
- Mayor & Municipal Council (Municipal)
Judicial Authority
Authority to give judgement by interpreting
the Law
- Courts
Assisted by:
- Prosecuting Authority
- SAPS
- Correctional Services
Checks and Balances
• The Separation of Power defines ethical boundaries between the 3
arms of Government, to make sure there are checks and balances,
so that power is never centralised in one authority.
• The purpose of checks and balances is to ensure that different
branches of government control each other internally (checks)
and serve as counter weights to the power possessed by the
other branches (balances) So the authority to take an action, or
make a decision, rests with one department, while
the responsibility to verify the decision or action rests with another
• Another example The President in the executive branch can veto a
law, but the legislative branch can override that veto with enough
votes.
