dc.concourt.synopsis Confirmation of order of the Pretoria High Court declaring Presidential Proclamation R7 of 1996 inconsistent with the interim Constitution and invalid. The proclamation purported to assign the administration of almost the whole of the Social Assistance Act 59 of 1992 (the SAA) to provincial governments. The main issue was whether social assistance is a matter that cannot be regulated effectively by provincial legislation and requires minimum standards across the nation. Van der Westhuizen J, for the Court, held: the SAA falls within s 126(3) of the interim Constitution and was therefore in terms of s 235(6) not capable of being assigned to the provinces. Order of invalidity of the High Court confirmed, and MEC ordered to pay costs. Order of invalidity suspended.
