Abstract
Since the demise of apartheid in 1994, South Africa is undergoing rapid transition in all aspects and at every level of society. The commitment to access, redress and equity, non-racism, non-sexism, etc. within the anti-Apartheid movement, as evidenced in documents emerging from the National Education Policy Investigation (National Education Co-ordinating Committee, 1992, 1993) in the early 1990s, has been sustained through a plethora of policies and legislation to achieve equality in all sectors of the society. The commitment to achieve gender justice also lies at the core of this policy framework.
