ABSTRACT
The democratic elections in South Africa in 1994 marked the end of legal apartheid and stimulated intense and exciting debate on the legislative structures that needed to be put in place. Many repugnant racist laws, such as the Immorality Act (1927), Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act (1949), Group Areas Act (1950), Bantu Authorities Act (1951), Suppression of Communism Act (1950), were struck down and offensive sections of retained laws amended.
