South Africa’s institutions such as the Constitution and judiciary are increasingly challenged by critiques derived from Western postmodern and decolonial theory, yet the country lacks a strong defence of the Western ideas underpinning those institutions. This intellectual tension threatens the stability of constitutional governance and legal protections in South Africa.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
