What this means

  • The index files this text under article 213 of the Constitution of South Africa.
  • The index files it under the chapter heading “CHAPTER 12 — TRADITIONAL LEADERS”.
  • The passage runs to about 92 words.

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) There is a National Revenue Fund into which all money received by the national”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

No rights vocabulary from our fixed word list appears in this passage, so no plain-language reading is offered for it.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
