dc.description.abstract |
Prior to 1994, citizenship was one of the pillars upon which the erstwhile government's
policy of separate development rested. The concepts of citizenship and nationality were
manipulated by the apartheid government to justify the denationalisation of black people and
the creation of different classes of citizenship. Race, colour and language were the
distinguishing features used to classify people into the different classes of citizenship.
With the advent of the new constitutional order in 1994, common citizenship and the
rights associated with it were restored to all South Africans. This discussion shows how in
the post-1994 constitutional order citizenship has become an element of nation-building,
while on the other hand it continues to perpetuate discrimination against non-citizens. The
study aims to further the debate regarding the ill treatment of non-citizens with a view of
influencing legislative and policy reform to replace the existing laws which are biased
against no-citizens. |
