Too often writers have focused on the economic and political factors in attempting an answer to the question why so many conflicts in Africa? This study breaks new grounds and seeks to demonstrate the role of law in these conflicts. The focus here is on the constitutional law paradigm of the separation of powers. The research is an investigation of the primordial role of the law in causing conflicts in Africa it seeks to demonstrate that the crises that dominated them from 1961-1996 was as a result of constitutional manoeuvres. The hypothesis investigates the separation of powers between the judiciary, legislature and executive in Cameroon and South Africa, which are from enhancing nation building has often been a source of conflict. The manipulation of the constitutions in Cameroon by the francophone majority and in South Africa by the white minority undermined nation building and laid the seed beds for conflicts in the period under survey. 2014-09-30T13:39:59Z 2014-09-30T13:39:59Z 2000 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7787 eng application/pdf Department of Historical Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
