The current South African Constitution can, arguably be said to have been drafted way back in 1955, when a gathering of people affected by the atrocities of the apartheid regime in South Africa met in Kliptown, a town in Soweto (South Western Town of Johannesburg) and adopted a document that charted the freedoms of the people- to be called ‘The Freedom Charter’. What did it stand for? Does it talk to the freedoms of the continent? What relevance does it have in the continent?
