I have copied the preamble to our constitution and show it below and if we look back to 1996 what a wonderful promise this held for ALL South Africans!

It is such a shame that the Government failed to make this a FACT in South Africa. Read the contents and then look at the news and newspapers; talk to the people and see if they think that the contents have been achieved.

This is only the “preamble” what about the rest of the Constitution? From time to time I will post other excerpts and see how we faired with them. I would welcome comments on this!

STATUTES OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA-CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act,

ss. 1 - 3 No. 108 of1996                                                        ss. 1 - 3

Preamble

We, the people of South Africa,

Recognise the injustices of our past;

Honour those who suffered for justice and freedom in our land;

Respect those who have worked to build and develop our country; and

Believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity.

We therefore, through our freely elected representatives, adopt this Constitution as the supreme

Law of the Republic so as to-

Heal the divisions of the past and establish a society based on democratic values, social

justice and fundamental human rights;

Lay the foundations for a democratic and open society in which government is based on

the will of the people and every citizen is equally protected by law;

Improve the quality of life of all citizens and free the potential of each person; and

build a united and democratic South Africa able to take its rightful place as a sovereign

State in the family of nations.

May God protect our people.

Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika. Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso.

God seën Suid-Afrika. God bless South Africa.

Mudzimu fhatutshedza Afurika. Hosi katekisa Afrika.

I apologise to all my readers/followers for the inconvenience caused by the loss of ALL the data on my blog.

Our ISP did not make a backup of  our records and when everything crashed all our hard work over the past few years was lost.

No use crying…..I have only saved a few of my posts on my computer and will therefore re-post some of them over the next few days while a I try and reconstruct my blog from scratch.

Please bear with me!
