Family and friends of the murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence, who have fought for three years to find the people responsible for his death, immediately criticised Mr Justice Curtis's ruling. Hopes Rise for Women's Rights in the New South Africa Los Angeles Times, August 3, 1997 Ivory Black 1997 Marlene Dumas Lydia Kompe grew up among the thatch-roofed mud and dung houses of a remote village. Today she has a plush office in Cape Town, drives a Mercedes Benz and carries a cellular phone. The contrasting worlds inhabited by the 60-year-old legislator underline the changes facing women as South Africa evolves three years after the end of apartheid. Contradictions are everywhere: modern cities and backward rural areas around them, a democratic constitution and patriarchal tribal systems, active women's movements and widespread acceptance of male dominance.Even educated, successful women like Kompe face expectations that they will fulfill a traditional role as obedient, serving wives.
