Esikhathini kusungulwa iNyunyane YaseNingizimu Afrika, inkatolo eyayingaphezu kwezinye izinkantolo ezweni kwakuyi Ntantolo ePhakeme YaseNingizimu Afrika eyayinezigaba ezinhlanu: izigaba zezifundazwe ezine nesigaba sokudlulisa amacala.[1] Esikhathini esilandelayo, abantu bomdabo baseNingizimu Afrika nabanye abantu ekuthiwa bansundu baphucwe amalungelo nesithunzi sabo ngexa yohlelo lobandlululo olwahlukanisa abantu ngemihlanga ngexa yobala lwesikhumba[2]. Inhlangano Khongolose Yabomdabo kaZwelonke YaseNingizimu Afrika yasungulwa ngu-John Langalibalele Dube nabanye ngomhlaka-8 zikaMasingana ngezi-1912, olwaguqula igama ukubayi-Nhlangano Khongolose Yama-Afrika ngezi-1923, yayishwelezela bese yalwela amalungelo, ubulinganiswa nobulungiswa kwabansundu njengezakhamuzi xaseNingizimu Afrika kufikela ukuketulwa kweNhlangano Yehlanga lamaBhunu ngomhlaka-27 zikaMbasa ngezi-1994[3].

Amabhunu namaNgisi aqambe uhlelo lokuthi iPhalamende yayingaphezulu kwezinto nemibango yonke ukuze ikwazi ukushaya noma muphi umthetho noma loyomthetho ungalunganga noma lowomthetho ukhohlakele kangakanani[4]. Lobungabi nemiyalelo okubusa ngobuqondile kwakuyona into eyalwenza ukuthi kubelula ukuthi inzondo eyiphehlwa izimfundiso nezimiso zombuso wobandlululo ebalungwini ungavimbeki yilaba balelohlanga ebalusola futhi baluphikisa[5]. Ububi nokwesabeka balohlelo babukhulu kangangokuthi Izizwe Ezihlangene zilufulathele ziphinde zimemeza ukuthi kungubugebengu obuthuka ubuntu emhlabeni wonke olungaphinde luvumeke ukuthi lwenzeke futhi[6].

Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi iPhalamende ngeke ikwazi ukuzenzela nokuthi abansundu bangaphindiseli abelungu ngokubajezisa ngasemuva kokuphela kwombuso wobandlululo, iNhlangano Yehlanga lamaBhunu neNhlangano Khongolose Yama-Afrika zavumelana ukuthi kubenoMthethosisekelo olulondoloza amalungelo wabansundu nabelungu futhi oluletha ubulinganiswa ngaphakathi kwabo[7]. Kungako iPhalamende yaseyayishaya uMthethosisekelo Wesikhashane owasungula inkantolo ekwazi ukugxila ezindabeni ezibekane nomthethosisekelo uzuze amalungelo wabantu bonke alondolozwe. UMthethosisekelo oyayewashaywa ngezi-1996, uyigcinile iNkantolo yoMthethosisekelo. Ngezi-2013, leNkantolo yazinikeza amandla okuhlola nokuhlulela noma yiphi indaba edluliswe kuyo noma ingaqondananga nqo nomthethosisekelo. Lokukwamiswa futhi kwagcizelelwa ngokushaywa koMthetho wesi-10 wezi-2013 weziNkantolo ezingaPhezulu olayenza lenkantolo ukuthi ibeyinkantolo ephezulu kwazonke izinkantolo ezweni.
