Lamola tables bill to repeal apartheid-era Transkeian Penal Code

CAPE TOWN - An apartheid-era law that still applies to criminal law in the former Transkei is finally set to be repealed.

The Transkeian Penal Code - which codifies criminal law - was enacted in 1983 when the area became an independent republic. It means that the application of the law in this regard had been out of step with the country’s general criminal laws, resulting in legal uncertainty as to whether the code supersedes the country’s common law.

Mxm, We fought Apartheid. 28 years down Apartheid Code is still being Used.
