Question

What 3 changes were made in the constitution of south africa by 1994?

Answer 1

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1993, also known as the "Interim Constitution", was the constitution of South Africa from 27 April 1994 to 4 February 1997. It enumerated a bill of rights for the people of South Africa. It described the division of South Africa into nine provinces, and established the structure of national, provincial and local spheres of government and the principles that governed the interaction between the spheres. It established a single independent national judiciary along with various other independent organisations to support democracy and the constitution.

The Interim Constitution was drafted in 1993 by the "Multiparty Negotiating Forum" and came into effect on the day of the elections of 1994. It required the two houses of Parliament to sit jointly as the "Constitutional Assembly" to draft the text of a new constitutional text. This new constitutional text came into force on 4 February 1997 as the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, at which time the Interim Constitution was repealed.

From its enactment to its repeal, the Interim Constitution was amended ten times. Most of these amendments were technical, but some were of great political significance, such as the first and second amendments of 1994, which implemented the constitutional consequences of the compromise which, at the last minute, convinced the Inkatha Freedom Party to participate in the 1994 election. Other significant amendments included the renaming of five of the nine provinces.

This is the text as originally enacted and does not incorporate any amendments. A series of other versions incorporating amendments are also available on Wikisource; the version as amended up to 24 April 1996 is the text of the act as it was immediately before it was repealed.
