25 years of the Constitution: Is the Constitutional Court fulfilling its role of protecting our constitutional democracy?
Two years after South Africa s first democratic elections in 1994, the country s new Constitution was adopted on 8 May 1996, following extensive consultations, signifying just how much change the country had undergone.
The Constitution sets out the country s values, the rights of the people, how Parliament and the other legislatures work, how the national and provincial executives are chosen, and how the courts work. It also establishes six institutions to support our democracy.
At the heart of our Constitution are seven fundamental values: democracy, equality, reconciliation, diversity, responsibility, respect and freedom.
