"...the rights in the Bill of Rights may be limited only in terms of law of general application to the extent that the limitation is reasonable, is recognised by international human rights standards and is necessary and justifiable in an open and democratic society.".

Africa does not contribute to the definition of 'international human rights'. America and Europe dictate. That said, we all know that the definition of human rights is incorrect, and flawed, and is nothing more than a loophole for chaotic social order...or disorder to take root. Criminals cannot be punished...because they have rights, crimes cannot be prevented, because the crimials have rights...children cannot be raised right...because of incorrectly defined rights...

Binding us, through our constitution to American and European norms, is like tying our legs to a sinking ship. The term "...is recognised by international human rights standards..." must be replaced by " ... is recognized by Bantu philosophy of fairness and justice..." . I know most intellectuals, educated by Europeans and Americans, may find this a tough leap..but it's the only way we can enshrine the propagation of our customs, ways and identity as Bantus..we cannot allow our ways to be swallowed up by the West. Our children deserve more from us that that!
