INHEEMSE ERFOPVOLGINGSREG IN ZIMBABWE: LESSE VIR SUIDAFRIKA DEEL II: ERFOPVOLGINGSREG NA HERVORMING

Abstract

In Part II of this article legal reform of the customary law of succession in Zimbabwe is considered with a view to extract lessons for legal reform in South Africa. In the discussion specific emphasis is placed on conflicting case law which seems indicative of the inherent strain between statutory reform and the customary law of succession applicable in a primarily patriarchal society.
