Dept. of Public Law. Civil rights -- South Africa Dissertations -- Law Thesis (LL.M.) -- University of Stellenbosch, 1993. For some time the question of the necessity for a constitutional system based on the protection of group rights has been debated in the South African political arena. This discussion has gained momentum with the commencement of negotiations concerning the constitutional future of the country. Three possible viewpoints on this topic are discussed. Firstly, the conviction that groups have rights to self-determination (which includes the right to a separate territory) secondly, the view that group rights can fulfill a useful function in conjunction with the protection of individual rights and finally, the view that .the protection of groups is unnecessary and undesirable, since adequate protection would be afforded to groups by granting basic human rights to the individual members of the groups are discussed. This thesis attempts to answer the question of whether a system based on group rights would be considered legitimate in this country.
