About Sanele Sibanda
Sanele Sibanda is senior lecturer at the Witwatersrand School of Law, Johannesburg, South Africa. He researches broadly in the fields of constitutional law and customary law reform. He has taught, researched and published on questions related to constitutional law, administrative law, customary law reform and law and culture. He adopts a critical perspective to these questions and asks how they impact upon or have been impacted upon by South African constitutionalism since 1994. In particular, invoking the thought of African liberation political theorists such as Franz Fanon and Steve Biko, his work examines whether post-1994 South African constitutionalism has lived up to its billing as a ‘revolutionary’ break from the past, or whether it has manifested in practice as a de-racialized form of legal continuity. He is a contributing author to leading South African constitutional law texts- Constitutional Law of South Africa, and South African Constitutional Law in Context. He is also a member of the editorial committee of one of South Africa’s leading peer-reviewed law journals-the South African Journal on Human Rights.
