Feedback
Your answer is correct.
(Chapter 1: The South African Legal System)
4 is CORRECT. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 is the supreme law of South
Africa. It applies to all law, and binds natural and juristic persons, the legislature, the executive and all
other organs of the state.
1 is INCORRECT. English law is indeed a source of South African law, but not the supreme law. When
the Cape was ceded to Great Britain in 1814, the South African legal system then in operation, was
influenced by English law.
2 is INCORRECT. Roman Dutch law is one of the sources of South African law, but not the supreme
law. Roman law was gradually received in the Netherlands and became mixed with the existing Dutch
customary law, and Roman-Dutch law resulted from this process. Jan Van Riebeeck brought this Roman
Dutch law to the Cape in 1652, when he established a settlement here.
3 is INCORRECT. Statute law is also known as legislation. It is the most important source of law,
enacted by parliament and provincial legislatures, and includes proclamations, regulations and by-laws
