Abstract
The question to be addressed in this study is whether the government of South Africa is doing enough to protect the rights of the accused from torture. This study will seek to analyse South Africa’s constitution and its requirements to protect individual human rights, as well as South Africa’s current legislative framework including the Prevention and Combating of Torture of Persons Act.
