Abstract
Die beperkings van regstellende gelykheid
Highlights
Om tekortkominge in die gelykheidsreg, wat te goeder trou bedoel is om die brandende probleme van ongelykheid op te los, uit te wys, kan in die huidige tydsgewrig maklik verkeerd verstaan word as reaksionêre weerstand teen 'n noodsaaklike proses van 'n geregverdigede gelykheidstrewe
Gelykheid in die Grondwet Die begrip "gelykheid" kom in die hoogsverskanste stigtingsbepaling van die 1996 Grondwet, verskeie kere in die Handves van Regte en verder slegs in artikels 185
13 'n Insiggewende dictum in hierdie verband is ook dié van Sachs r in par [124] van die Gay and Lesbian-uitspraak: "Contrary to the Centre's argument, the violation of dignity and self-worth under the equality provisions can be distinguished from a violation of dignity under section 10 of the Bill of Rights
Summary
Die voorganger van artikel 9 van die 1996 Grondwet was artikel 8 van die 1993 Grondwet, wat nie in alle opsigte met eersgenoemde ooreengekom het nie. 'n Belangrike volume regspraak het egter uit die vertolking en toepassing van artikel 8 voortgespruit, wat deur die Konstitusionele Hof as volledig van toepassing op die huidige artikel 9 aanvaar is.. 13 'n Insiggewende dictum in hierdie verband is ook dié van Sachs r in par [124] van die Gay and Lesbian-uitspraak: "Contrary to the Centre's argument, the violation of dignity and self-worth under the equality provisions can be distinguished from a violation of dignity under section 10 of the Bill of Rights The former is based on the impact that the measure has on a person because of membership of an historically vulnerable group that is identified and subjected to disadvantage by virtue of certain closely held personal characteristics of its members; it is the inequality of treatment that leads to and is proved by the indignity. 27 "In order to determine whether the discriminatory provision has impacted on complainants unfairly, uitdrukking "sistemiese benadeling" het egter wel al 'n paar keer in die Konstitusionele Hof se uitsprake voorgekom.
