Abstract:
This chapter analyses the increasing tension between state support for traditional leadership and demands for the recognition of living customary law and multi-layered institutions during the twenty years of democratic governance. The analyses includes the role of the courts in directing and correcting the course of the reconciliation process in policy-making. The chapter concludes with some suggestions towards resolving the challenges on fundamental issues.
