This case note explores the landmark decision of the South African Constitutional Court in Mahlangu and Another v. Minister of Labour and Others, which recognised intersectional discrimination under section 9(3) of the Constitution. It shows that the Court went beyond that in fact and recognised intersectionality not just as part of discrimination law, but also as part of general constitutional law, using it as a theory of constitutional interpretation in adjudication.

超越歧视:马兰古和交叉性作为宪法解释的一般理论

本案例说明探讨了南非宪法法院在Mahlangu和Another诉劳工及其他部长一案中的具有里程碑意义的裁决,该裁决承认《宪法》第9(3)条规定了交叉歧视。它表明,法院超越了事实,承认交叉性不仅是歧视法的一部分,而且是一般宪法的一部分,并将其作为判决中的宪法解释理论。
