South Africa became a democracy when a new constitution was written in 1994.

The constitution of South Africa is the outcome of numerous detailed and all-inclusive negotiations that were done with an awareness of the unfairness and the injustices that the Republic of South Africa faced in the past.

Further Explanation

The constitution of South Africa is the highest law in the land; no other existing law or government activities can override the constitution.

Although a temporary constitution was drafted right after South Africa moved from apartheid to democracy, but in April 1994, a new constitution was drafted and it has the input of the public and elected public representatives.

The constitutional court, however, approved the constitution on December 4, 1996. The approved constitution was signed into law on December 18, 1996, by President Nelson Mandela and officially became effective in February 1997.

The constitution of South Africa was considered by many as the most advanced constitution in the world.

The bill of rights also included in the constitution has been regarded as second to none

Since the approval of the constitution, it has been amended 17 times.

Thus, South Africa became a democracy when a new constitution was written in 1994.
