    The consumer's rights to privacy: a comparative analysis
    (2010) Joseph, Natalie Delphine; Naude, Tjakie
    As South Africa has a very rich political history, when new pieces of legislation are drafted (then subsequently enacted) there is always an attempt to correct the mistakes of the past. This is the reason that the South African Constitution (Constitution)1 provides many fundamental rights.2 The apartheid era was the depression of South Africa but through this South Africa has grown. This is why it is inherent to the South African legislature to view all circumstances - whether they are legal, political or economical -by enacting laws which will be to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged.3 Of course, apartheid was horrible for those that went through it, but the effect on the present and future la,·:s have been a positive one. Without all the suffering that was endured throughout the .1partheid era, South Africa would never be a country with such a wide-spread and seeking Constitution.
