QUESTION 1 (3 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
Section 211(3) of the South African Constitution heavily underscores the integration and
recognition of customary law within the South African legal system. The implications of this
particular section, along with the interrelated sections 30 and 31, for the recognition of
customary law are quite profound. Here's a discussion of these implications in a more
structured manner:
Section 211(3) mandates that all courts must respect and apply customary law when it is
relevant, meaning customary law is not something that stands apart from the formal legal
system but is an integrated part of it. This demonstrates a pluralistic approach to law within
the country.
