On Thursday, the Nelson Mandela Foundation and Constitutional Hill hosted a discussion titled “Electoral Reform: Can we Build a Better Democracy?” Former justice of the Constitutional Court Albie Sachs gave a historical overview of how the decision to choose proportional representation (PR) as an electoral system came about. “There was nothing in the Freedom Charter that spoke to how you deal with the electoral vote,” said Sachs. He said the system was based on former ANC stalwart Kader Asmal’s research, which yielded 39 electoral system recommendations from as many countries, for the liberation movement to consider where the majority of people opted for the PR system.
