Mistake, financial institutions, and the contract of suretyship: Prins v ABSA Bank Ltd 1998 (3) SA 904 (C)

  • Description: Although the debate about contractual mistake and its theoretical foundations has evolved to the point where disagreement and contradiction has in recent times been replaced by a far higher degree of certainty and clarity (Van der Merwe and Van Huyssteen "Reasonable reliance on consensus, iustus error and the creation of contractual obligations" 1994 SALJ 679 686; Hutchison "Contract formation" in Zimmermann and Visser (eds) Southern Cross: Civil law and common law in South Africa (1996) 193), judgments dealing with the question of mistake will no doubt continue to provide interesting insights into this area of the law. Prins v ABSA Bank Ltd serves as a case in point.

  • Description: The original Introduction to the thesis, in summary, developed three main themes (a) a close analysis of the institutional arrangements of the pre-capitalist mode of production, demonstrating its complexity; (b) a broader perspective on the legal, political, social and economic aspects of colonialism; and (c) an account of the distinctive patterns of migrant labour which resulted. First. Judy examined the cheap labour hypothesis of Wolpe (1972), which identified the policy of Segregation as ‘the key mechanism in the subcontinent for the forcible generation and reproduction of labour power on a scale and at a price required by foreign mining capital'. Although she found this a major advance from earlier views of migrant labour as simply a system whereby "men oscillate between their home in some rural area and their place of work’ (Francis Wilson, 1972b), she criticised Wolpe’s hypothesis for failing to incorporate an adequate analysis of ‘the internal forces promoting labour migrancy in Basutoland under colonial rule’, to which she paid particular attention. She did not regard migrant labour solely as ‘The outcome of ruling class policy or ruling class intention’ (Brenner, 1977:78). Nor does she accept Wolpe’s assumption that the migrant labour system was an intended effect of the strategy of mining capital; this reduced "the variety of complex historical factors’ to "the driving force of “the needs of capital”. She therefore offered ‘a more extended exploration of the political dimension of colonial rule’ and a more complex analysis of mining capital and its relationship with pre-capitalist social formations. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Lesotho's general election of 1998 : rigged or de rigeur?

  • Authors: Southall, Roger J , Fox, Roddy C
  • Date: 1999
  • Language: English

  • Description: The official result of Lesotho's general election of 1998, which saw a 79 out of 80 seat victory for the ruling Lesotho Congress of Democrats (LCD), was repudiated by the opposition, notably the former ruling Basotho National Party (BNP) and the Basutoland Congress Party (BCP). These latter parties were historic enemies but forged an alliance of convenience to contest the outcome of the election. By mobilising their supporters to occupy Maseru they successfully paralysed the capacity of the LCD to govern. After diplomatic preliminaries, this led to military intervention by South Africa and Botswana in September 1998 and their brokering of an agreement which restored the LCD to power, on the condition that a new election would be held within eighteen months, with the rules for that contest being discussed between the parties in the interim. That election has now been scheduled for April 2000. The article reviews the conduct and result of the general election of 1998. It concludes that the opposition's objections were largely spurious, but notes that the unbalanced nature of the LCD's victory – a product of the first-past-the-post electoral system – was a major cause of the wider crisis. It therefore proposes that any lasting settlement of political differences in Lesotho is going to require a new electoral system which will allow for a more inclusive outcome.
