Today I read a
broad overview of South Africa’s government. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_South_Africa)
South Africa is a constitutional democracy. It has similarities to the United
States in that it is a three-branch system. The Parliament of South Africa,
made up of the National Assembly and National Council of Provinces, holds
legislative authority. The President of South Africa, who is head of state and
head of government, holds executive authority. Parliament elects the President
to serve a fixed term. The current president of South Africa is Jacob Zuma. The
Constitutional Court, Supreme Court of Appeal, and the High Court make up the
judicial branch. The South African Constitution is the supreme law of the land
in South Africa.

By the way, I’ve
been shortening these blogs a little bit to try to fit them better into the
coffee reflection timeframe. Hopefully I will find a good balance!
