Abstract:
traditional leadership in South Africa is an example of the tension that exists between democracy and human rights as defined in Eurocentric terms, on the one hand, and social group rights as theoretically enshrined in the South African constitution, on the other hand. The aim of this paper is to unpack these theoretical tensions by referring to current analysis of traditional leadership into two schools of thought.
