OCT/ NOV 2021 EXAM
QUESTION ONE
Critically discuss the differences between living customary law and official customary
law. [30]
Living customary law emphasises a customary law that is recognised and protected
by the Constitution that is living, active and dynamic, and part of the lives of the people.
Living customary law is the unwritten, non-state law representing the customary
practices of the people who are subject to customary law and is distinguished from the
common law concept of custom. It consists of current practices that have binding
authority and that adapt to changing conditions. The recording of living customary law
only becomes significant wen it carries consequences for the nature of the system.1
Official customary law is the law applied by the courts and other state institutions and
are typically customary law and other legislation, court precedents and textbooks. This
system of law does not really represent the customary law of the people, as ‘the
people’s flexible body of customary law was transformed into written, rule-orientated
and rigid version of customary law in the form of official customary law.’ 2 Official
customary Law merely refers to taking of judicial notice, not recognition; it puts
customary at the level of foreign law, as opposed to a vital component of our
constitutional system; it requires the use of customary law that has been proved and
is part of official precedent, before being used (i.e. ascertained readily and with
sufficient certainty), as opposed to being applied in its living form as in section 211(13)
of the Constitution.3
Official customary law is written down and therefore enable courts to apply it uniformly
and with certainty. ‘The issue of legal certainty arose in Bhe where the court declined
to develop customary law in terms of section 39(2) of the Constitution on a case-by-
case basis.’4
In Pilane and Another v Pilane and Others 2013 (4) BCLR 431 (CC) it was stated that
,‘Our history, however, is replete with instances in which customary law was not given
