Constitutional Court

The Constitutional Court This court, the highest in South Africa on constitutional matters, was born out of the country’s first democratic Constitution in 1994. In an acclaimed  building at Constitution Hill, the 11 judges stand guard over the Constitution and protect everyone’s human rights.

 

The Constitutional Court only makes decisions about issues that have to do with the Constitution. It is also the highest court in the land since its decisions cannot be changed by any other court.

 

When you are not satisfied with what the High Court has decided you can go to the Constitutional Court only if it has to do with constitutional issues.  Normal appeal matters are however dealt with at the Supreme Court of Appeal.
