Advocates of South African sport often emphasize the unification and nation-building value of sport. Yet certain sectors of the population criticise, oppose and even violate the application of certain fundamental values to sport, such as equality and human dignity through, inter alia the use of affirmative action to bring about equality in a substantive sense, as provided for in the 1993 and 1996 Constitutions of the Republic of South Africa. Sport administrators also often exercise decision-making powers in such a way as to suggest that they have the final ity to determine what is right, legal and justifiable. The purpose of this paper is to provide for those who are involved on a daily basis in the world of sport, an awareness and literacy of the chief constitutional provisions which apply to sport. (S.
