Abstract
The dissertation examines unfair discrimination within the South African Department of Correctional Services against inmates with ancestral calling (ubizo). Inmates (like everyone) have fundamental rights as enshrined by the Bill of Right as contained in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. However, the aforesaid rights can be limited, to the extent that it is reasonable and justified in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom. Consequently, fundamental rights of any inmate – by virtue of their incarceration in a correctional facility - are automatically limited on grounds of it being reasonable and justifiable. Freedom of movement is just one example.
