Question

assertion African constitution speaks of both the past and the future.
reason it is a charter for the transformation of the country​

Answer 1

Answer:

As soon as the election was over, the major political parties sat down to draft a new constitution. The government made a public call for anyone to submit recommendations for the constitution. An extraordinary 1.7 million submissions came in.

Constitutional negotiations were difficult and prolonged. Both the National Party, which until 1994 had governed the country, and the African National Congress wanted the new government to reflect the values of their own party. Yet both sides knew that unless all were at least minimally satisfied, sectarian violence could break out; a military coup was even possible.
