2017 marked the 20th anniversary of the Constitution which came into effect on 4 February 1996 and the establishment of the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) on 6 February 1997. A key aspect of the anniversary was to invite those who were close to the Constitution drafting process to write about that ground-breaking moment in our history.
The books, which Parliament is launching next week, are a product of that initiative. They contain contributions and perspectives from a wide range of current and past Members of Parliament and other South Africans who reflect, among others, on the:
- Character of The Democratic State,
- Structure of Government,
- Relationship between Spheres of Government

- Judicial System in our New Democratic Dispensation, and
- Specialised Structures of Government.
Leaders of political parties; members of the Executive; the Tambo, Mandela and Sisulu families; and leaders of civil society formations such as the academia are also expected to grace the launch ceremony.
