Traditional leadership is an entrenched attribute of governance in African countries. Even with its entrenched status, however, the system of traditional leadership presents a challenge to many countries as they try to create a harmonious relationship between this and the post-colonial dispensations. In South Africa - although legislation exists to govern the incorporation of traditional leadership into the post-1994 democratic dispensation - there remains an intense debate on the issue. While the role of traditional leaders is relevant in many spheres of governance and administration, it is arguably more pronounced when it comes to administration of justice and crime prevention. This seminar will present findings of research conducted on the role of traditional leaders in the administration of justice and crime prevention in Limpopo province during 2004. The presentation will be followed by commentary and critique.
