Nolundi Luwaya examines how the laws affecting rural citizens in South Africa fit together. She examines the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act and highlights key sections of the Act including the requirements for establishment of Traditional Councils, the status and role of traditional leaders. She reviews contested legislation including the Communal Land Rights Act, struck down by the Constitutional Court and the Traditional Courts Bill which threatened to turn rural citizens in the former bantustans into chiefly subjects. She explores key features of the current Traditional and Khoisan Leadership Bill before discussing the protections provided by living law jurisprudence and the Constitution. This input was given at an Alliance for Rural Democracy short course in February 2016.
