Review of Colonial and Apartheid Era Legislation

The South African Law Commission Issue Paper: Review of Colonial and Apartheid Era Legislation (Laws administered by the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development impacting on expressive rights) is available for comments. "The purpose of this issue paper is two-fold: a) it is intended to announce the Commission’s inquiry into the necessity, relevance, efficacy, constitutionality and the desirability of legislative reform, of pre-1994 legislation administered by the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development and thus to generate a conversation in relation thereto; and b) most importantly, to elicit input (views, opinions, and options whether, and how, these laws should be changed) from interested parties which will serve as basis for further deliberations.
