Story
This book is essential listening to bring forward the lessons from our past. A bold and unique collaboration between legal experts Michelle le Roux and Dennis Davis, it explores a series of landmark cases that came to define South Africa’s legal and political landscape. It examines how the law has been used and abused. Defining cases litigated in the apartheid past, in the constitutional era and right up to the recent days of state capture are examined.
