24 Chapter 1
Three institutions and three persons deserve to be singled out.
Without the Centre for Human Rights, the Constitutional Law of
South Africa (CLoSA) Public Lectures Series would not have taken
place. It took the prescience and the sustained commitment of the
Centre’s former Director, now Dean of the University of Pretoria’s
Faculty of Law, Professor Christof Heyns, to make CLoSA, the
conference and this work possible.
Without the Pretoria University Law Press, its production
manager, Lizette Besaans and its graphic designer Yolanda Booyzen,
this book would never have had its spine cracked.
Finally, allow us to again thank Theunis Roux and the South
African Institute for Advanced Constitutional Public, Human Rights
and International Law (SAIFAC). As a co-editor of CLoSA, as a cosponsor
of the CLoSA conference, and as a co-author of this work,
Theunis has been our tipping point. Without him, something might
have happened on all three fronts — eventually. But nothing truly
great would have come of any of these endeavours. Words cannot
express the debt that we owe him.
