Abstract
The Apartheid government passed segregation laws which favoured the white minority
and unfairly discriminated against black people. The Constitution of the Republic of South
Africa acknowledges the hardships caused by Apartheid and thus contains an equality
clause governed by section 9 of the Constitution which prohibits unfair discrimination. The
Constitution places an obligation on parliament to enact legislation with the aim of
advancing and protecting persons or categories of persons disadvantaged by unfair
discrimination.
