Abstract:With the enactment of the new South African constitution in 1983, the Botha government imprinted its strategy for defence of South African capitalism upon the country's political system. The political framework which had prevailed since Union in 1910 was abandoned. The new dispensation established a dominant executive President chosen by whites, and a tri-cameral parliament including whites, Coloureds and Indians. Sections: genesis of the constitution - white politics: government by default - black politics: co-option on the cheap. Ref.
