Description
The chapter dissects the legislative developments (in the case of Botswana and Namibia and South Africa), and judicial developments (Zimbabwe and South Africa) relating to corporal punishment, with the chief focus being corporal punishment in the home and corporal punishment as a judicial sanction for criminal offending. The legal position in South Africa has very recently taken centre stage via a judicial challenge to the constitutionality of the defence of reasonable chastisement, which unfolded as this chapter was being prepared.
