Die grondwetlike voorstelle van die Kwazulu‐natal Indaba as raamwerk vir die beskerming van groepsbelange: ‘n vergelykende perspektief

Abstract

The protection of group interests is a dominant theme in the debate on constitutional reform in South Africa. In this article the capacity of the constitutional proposals of the KwaZulu/Natal Indaba to ensure that group domination is prevented, is compared with that of the 1983 constitution of South Africa. Particular emphasis is given to the rationale behind this constitution, i.e. the 1982 President's Council Report. The conclusion is drawn that the proposals of the Indaba provide greater opportunity for the protection of the vital interests of groups than does the present constitution.
