The ARD said the two bills would create two separate legal systems, turning already marginalised rural citizens into subjects by depriving them of citizenship and property rights

“We are not happy about these bills and we are calling the public to help us defend democracy and equality in our country,” said Mogale.

“If made into law, these bills will allow homeland chiefs to make deals with big business, chase people off their land, and force people to attend a traditional court,” she said. “These bills do not do that. The traditional and Khoi-San leadership bill does recognise the Khoi-San people, but the rest of this bill is about giving new oppressive powers to unelected chiefs as the apartheid government did,” she said.

“Furthermore, the bill on traditional courts does not include any protective mechanisms against gender discrimination in these dispute forums,” Mogale said.
