The Corrupt Parallel Universe that Defines South Africa’s Constitutional Order and Labour Laws that Fail South Africa : Decline and Lagged Growth in a Period of Government Hegemony

Abstract

This paper explores the aspects raised in the title of this paper from perspectives that need exploration because corruption has become endemic within South Africa. This corruption therefore plays a significant role in retarding the economy and development within the country. In addition the paper attempts to explore very briefly the issue of labour laws and argues that these laws have failed South Africa. All of this the paper argues has resulted in the decline of the economy by virtue of lagged growth which has resulted to certain barriers to black advancement, which has a direct co - relation to impeding necessary economic growth, which is vital to South Africa’s development and economic success in a period of global recession. All of this points to the consolidation of government hegemony in South Africa.
