On the proposal on the establishment and inclusion of basic rights in accordance with the precepts of Ubuntu for sentient beings, including animals, the Committee does not support the suggestion for the inclusion of positive rights for animals in the Constitution. It draws its conclusion on this matter from the judgements in the cases of Port Elizabeth Municipality v Various Occupiers 2004 (12) BCLR 1268 (CC) and the Azanian Peoples Organisation and Others v President of the Republic of South Africa and Others 996 (8) BCLR 1015 (CC), as well as the judgment of Mokgoro J in S v Makwanyane and Another 1995 (6) BCLR 665 (CC) which recognized that fundamental rights were already infused with the precepts of Ubuntu. It feels that legislation that guarantees the protection of animals is sufficient.
