African National Congress (ANC) - The Homogeneity Clause and Provincial Constitutions - Drafting Considerations

This memorandum explains in more detail the proposal by ANC that clause 111 of the Refined Working Draft should be redrafted in the sense of a more fully realised homogeneity clause. The document concerns centrifugal and centripetal elements of the provincial system. ANC discusses the nature of a homogeneity clause and presents a possible formulation of the clause. According to ANC, the homogeneity clause is needed to spell out the political unity of the country.
