South Africa’s aspirational Constitution and our problems of collective action
This article advances the somewhat novel contention that our Constitution (a) is aspirational in nature; (b) requires three critical preconditions before it delivers on its numerous promises and (c) is subject to manifold constraints that can only ever be partially overcome. It then marries three interlocking theses. The first thesis identifies the manifold constraints on individual, social and political change. These constraints can be overcome.…

Determining who is in, and who is out, is a hot topic in debates about membership in religious communities, and the bodies, state and sectarian, that have the power to make decisions regarding such membership. For the most part, the state and the courts have taken a decidedly hands-off approach to interference in religious association decision-making.

The data sh…
