Abstract

This article responds to the criticism that the “second wave” of socio-economic rights judgments by the South African Constitutional Court unduly defers socio-economic dispute resolution to “outside” democratic structures. Given that socio-economic rights are strategically asserted through a range of political channels, from voting to participation in institutional processes and political protest, the article argues that the Court’s socio-economic rights pronouncements must similarly be understood in a broader jurisprudential context, including the Court’s treatment of elections, protest and structured political participation. This context reveals a Court preoccupied with ensuring that everyday governance and dispute resolution institutions and mechanisms exist, function and are strengthened, while simultaneously being accountable to citizens and responsive to their rights and concerns.
