Mthembu v Letsela and Another , ref 1997 2 SA 936 T . ref an important case in South African customary law , was heard in the Transvaal Province Transvaal Provincial Division by Le Roux J on November 21, 1996, with judgment handed down on November 25. The rule of African customary law which generally excludes African women from intestate succession was recognised by section 23 of the Black Administration Act ref Act 38 of 1927. ref and the regulations framed thereunder, especially regulation 2, promulgated on February 6, 1987, in Government Gazette 10601, as Government Notice R200, making black law and custom applicable to the devolution of the estate of a deceased black person. It was common cause in the present case that this system applied the principle of a male primogeniture The estate sought a male heir, whether a descendant or a parent or a grandparent. ref 938D E F G, read with 939F. ref The question that had to be considered was whether this rule of succession unfairly discriminated between persons on grounds of sex or gender, and was in conflict with the provisions of section 8 of the Interim Constitution. It was common cause that, in rural areas where this customary rule most frequently found its application, the devolution of the deceased s property unto the male heir involved a concomitant duty of support and protection of the woman or women to whom he was married by customary law, and of the children procreated under that system and belonging to a particular house. A widow in particular might remain at the deceased s homestead and continue to use the estate property, and the heir could not eject her at his whim. If it was accepted that the duty to provide sustenance, maintenance and shelter is a necessary corollary of the system of primogeniture, the court found, it was difficult to equate this form of differentiation between men and women with the concept of unfair discrimination as used in section 8 of the Constitution.
