    • By this time, South Africa had a well-defined judicial hierarchy: Once a court structure had been established, the highest court at the Cape was the Raad van Justitie. It was possible to appeal against the decisions of this court to the Governor-General-in-Council in Batavia and there was theoretically also a right of appeal to the States General in the Netherlands. The courts of Ianddrosten and heemraden were lower courts and there was a right of appeal from these courts to the Raad van Justitie. DU PLESSIS & DU PLESSIS, supra note 4, at 46.

The available data does not suggest racial discrimination in the granting of mercy during this period. In fact, 48.3% of convicted white male murderers were executed, compared to only 24.3% of non-white male murderers. But the pool of convicted white murderers was relatively small: only 29 convictions for white male murderers were recorded during this period, compared to 765 convictions for non-white male murderers. Numbers for women were similar: one, or 20%, of the five white women convicted was executed, compared to four, or only 5.9%, of the 67 non-white women. For the relevant statistical information, see Welsh, supra, at 409.

The following extenuating circumstances were recognized in 1949: (i) immaturity of mind, as might be seen in youth or persons of retarded mental development; (ii) degeneracy of mind, as might be seen in extreme old age or in neuropathic persons who are not definitely insane; (iii) undue influence of a person in authority, though not amounting in law to coercion; (iv) reason or judgment clouded, e.g. by drink or drugs, though not to the extent that would have direct legal effect; another example of this kind of circumstance is infanticide by a mother still suffering from physical strain with consequent mental disturbance arising from birth or lactation; (v) distraction of mind not amounting in law to provocation, e.g. the killing of a brutal and unfaithful husband by his wife; (vi) a wrong, but not entirely unreasonable, belief that a fatal attack was to be made; (vii) minor degree of participation in the crime, e.g. where incomplete knowledge of common purpose existed or where the part played in carrying the crime into effect was a minor one; (viii) diminished heinousness, e.g. 'mercy killings.'

Realizing the futility of further non-violent struggle, the ANC soon formed its military wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation) to carry out acts of sabotage against the apartheid government.

    • See generally Tamara Rice Lave, A Nation at Prayer, Nation in Hate: Apartheid in South Africa, 30 STAN. J. INT'L L. 483, 484-510 (1994). Allister Sparks suggests that the relationship between the Dutch Reformed Church and the governing National Party was extremely dose: "The National Party at prayer" is how South Africans sometimes refer to the Dutch Reformed Church. It is a jest that speaks not only of the fact that the vast majority of the party's supporters belong to the church, but even more of the extent to which the church has been involved in the formulation of party policy. It was a coauthor of apartheid, some would say its initiator. It helped devise the policy and continues to this day to support it. SPARKS, supra note 26, at 153.

    • The Minister of justice stated: Last year Dr. van Niekerk of the University of the Witwatersrand also delivered a plea [in favor of abolition]. He pointed out that nearly half of all executions in the world occurred in this country. I just want to say in passing that this is the same Dr. Van Niekerk who is reported to nave said the following the other day[,] "Many of South Africa's Sunday Observance Laws, which tend to enforce a particular brand of puritanical morality on the whole population, are harsh, ludicrous, oppressive and out of touch with the spirit of the times, and should be revoked[,]" says Mr. B. van Niekerk (I notice that he is now being called "Mr."), a Johannesburg advocate and senior lecturer in law at the University of the Witwatersrand. In a hard-hitting article in the latest issue of the South African Law Journal, Mr. van Niekerk urges "a legislative spring cleaning among the anachronistic cobwebs of our Sabbath legislation." This shows you the mentality of this particular person. quoted in van Niekerk, supra note 49, at 472 n.59.

    • South Africa, like England, has a divided legal profession. Attorneys, the equivalent of the English solicitor, do a wide variety of legal work such as the drafting of contracts and wills, the administration of estates, and the drawing up of pleadings, and may appear in both criminal and civil matters only in the lower (magistrates) courts. Advocates, the equivalent of the English barrister, focus almost exclusively on litigation, the drawing up of pleadings and the writing of jegal opinions for clients. Advocates are approached through an attorney who acts as an intermediary between Advocate and client. See DU PLESSIS & DU PLESSIS, supra note 4, at 106-07.

    • S. AFR. CONST. (Act No. 200, 1993) ch. 7, § 99(4)-(5). The author was present at the hearings of the Judicial Service Commission and was struck by the contrast between the South African and the United States' selection processes. In South Africa, the interviews of the 25 candidates took 30 minutes each, and focused on issues relating to each candidate's qualifications rather than his or her political views. Cameras were prohibited at the hearings, but the media and the public were welcome to attend. The process received significant media attention but was not the media circus one might imagine if, for example, the U.S. Congress were suddenly responsible for selecting a majority of the Supreme Court The hearings were mostly pleasant and often quite amusing. The author agrees with the sentiments expressed in the ABA Journal that the process "is widely applauded for its fairness and apparent insulation from political interference."

    • Sept. 23
    • Tom Cohen, Mandela Undismayed by High Court Setback, S.F. CHRON., Sept. 23, 1995, at A12. The line-up of Advocates before the Court in the death penalty case was equally formidable. The original Advocate for the defendants, van Rooyen, was soon joined by Advocates Trengrove and Marcus of the Johannesburg Bar. The State was represented by the Attorney Generals of three provinces: Advocates Von Lieres und Wilkau, McNally, and Henning. In addition, Minister of Justice Dullah Omar briefed Advocate Bizos, a former member of Mandela's legal team, to represent the Government of National Unity, arguing in favor of abolition. A number of Amicus Curiae presented their positions. Advocate Dennis Davis represented the Center for Applied Legal Studies, the Society for the Abolition of the Death Penally in South Africa, and Lawyers for Human Rights in favor of abolition. A private citizen, Ian Glauber, hired an Advocate to argue in favor of a mandatory death penalty system. The Black Advocates Forum argued that the Court should consult the opinion of a long neglected black population before deciding on the constitutionality of capital punishment. Even the United States NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund, Inc. and Human Rights Watch offered their opinion to the Court, urging the Court to avoid the convoluted procedural approach of the U.S. courts and instead to decide the question on substantive grounds.

    • According to Mahomed, the factors involved in interpreting § 11 (2) include: its consistency with the other rights protected by the Constitution and the constitutional philosophy and humanism expressed... [in the] Constitution; its harmony with the national ethos which the Consutution identifies; the historical background to the structures and objectives of the Constitution; the discipline of proportionality to which it must legitimately be subject; the effect of die death sentence on the right to life protected by the Constitution; its inherent arbitrariness in application; its impact on human dignity; and its consistency with constitutional perceptions evolving both within South Africa and the world outside with which our country shares emerging values central to the permissible limits and objectives of punishment in the civilised community.

    • The Relaunch of the Society for the Abolition of the Death Penalty in South Africa, supra note 71 at 47. The fact that there were abolitionist judges was recognized by Judge President Munnik in 1989, admitting that "there are judges who have an aversion to passing the death penalty."

Although all three filed appeals to the Supreme Court, their cases were dealt with in different ways, apparently because the appeals were heard by different judges. In 1977 Kashmira Singh's death sentence was commuted at his first appeal. Jeeta Singh's appeal, however, was dismissed and he was executed... Harbans Singh's appeal was also rejected. Scheduled to be executed the same day as Jeeta Singh, he filed a review petition. At this second appeal the Supreme Court recommended commutation, noting that as Kashmira Singh's death sentence had been commuted, it would be a 'sheer travesty of justice' to allow [Harbans Singh] to be executed. 'It is unfortunate that Jeeta Singh could not get the benefit of the commutation of Kashmira Singh's sentence,' the court observed.

Fivaz concluded that the only way to tackle crime was "to work on the culture of society in South Africa. Unfortunately, it is a long-term solution. We will have to start at the schools level and go to work altering the mind-sets of people. But the introduction of the death penalty, to my mind, is not going to solve our problems."
