The purpose of this study is to access the viability of traditional
African courts in a future legal dispensation in South Africa. The research
method used is a study of literature, court decisions and relevant statutes.
The development of indigenous courts in South Africa is broadly outlined. As
an analogy to the South African court system, the courts of Lesotho, Swaziland
and Botswana are used to illustrate the dual systems of courts. Rapid
urbanisation is discussed to illustrate that despite the increasing
urbanisation, traditional values remain inherent to South African Blacks. The
salient features of indigenous courts are analysed to facilitate the
development of reform measures that have to be implemented so that the courts
can meet the challenge of the future. / Constitutional, International and Indigenous Law / LL.M.
