QUESTION 1
Explain why a lawyer has to consult various sources of law when trying to establish what the
existing South African law says about a legal question. Base your answer on your
understanding of the nature of the South African legal system. [2]
Answer:
A lawyer in South Africa needs to consult various sources of law to establish the existing
legal position because the South African legal system is a mixture of common law,
customary law, constitutional law, legislation, and precedent. These sources collectively
shape the legal framework, rights, and obligations, making it necessary for a lawyer to
consider them comprehensively in order to provide accurate legal advice.

recognises indigenous African law as a source of South African law? Your answer must be

Answer:
Section 211(3) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 officially recognizes
indigenous African law as a source of South African law.
