Multiculturalism, Democratic Citizenisation and the Case of the Death Penalty in South Africa
The aim of this article is to theorise the use of the term “multiculturalism” in conflict and functionalist perspectives in sociology, and to argue for the use of the functionalist approach in understanding the current state of abolitionism in South Africa. The conflict perspective emphasises that multicultural societies are characterised by increasing conflicts and tensions among groups. The functionalist perspective posits that multiculturalism…
The Constitutional Court of South Africa
After almost 25 years of what could justifiably be called transformative change in South Africa, a truism is that the country's new legal order, established by the Constitution in 1993 and 1996, provides the critical foundation of peace and security upon which its freedom has been built.

By the term ‘Drum School’, I refer to a group of South African writers who worked under the aegis of the African magazine Drum, during that period of South African history which has come deservedly to be known as the Fifties. One of the arguments largely commented on in the popular discourse about this gr…
