Resolving Disputes in Indigenous and Customary Law
Where there is a dispute involving indigenous and customary law, members of the community and traditional leaders should try and resolve the dispute internally and according to custom.
If a dispute cannot be resolved internally then it must be referred to the relevant provincial house of traditional leaders.
If a provincial house of traditional leaders cannot resolve the dispute then the dispute must be referred to the premier of the province in consultation with the parties to the dispute and the provincial house of traditional leaders.
