Carefully consider the following pronouncement made by Nelson Mandela during his first court
statement in Pretoria, 1962: Your Worship, I would say that the whole life of any thinking
African in this country drives him continuously to a conflict between his conscience on the one
hand and the law on the other. This is not a conflict peculiar to this country. The conflict arises
for men of conscience, for men who think and who feel deeply in every country. Recently in
Britain, a peer of the realm, Earl Russell, probably the most respected philosopher of the Western
world, was sentenced, convicted for precisely the type of activities for which I stand before you
today, for following his conscience in defiance of the law, as a protest against a nuclear weapons
policy being followed by his own government. For him, his duty to the public, his belief in the
morality of the essential rightness of the cause for which he stood, rose superior to this high
respect for the law. He could not do other than to oppose the law and to suffer the consequences
for it. Nor can I. Nor can many Africans in this country. The law as it is applied, the law as it has
been developed over a long period of history, and especially the law as it is written and designed
by the Nationalist government, is a law which, in our view, is immoral, unjust, and intolerable.
Our consciences dictate that we must protest against it, that we must oppose it, and that we must
attempt to alter it. Consider the following extract from page 1 of The Citizen newspaper, Friday
29 August 2025: The Sexual Offences Act 23 of 1957 prohibits prostitution, brothel-keeping, and
other related activities. A call for the decriminalisation of sex work is currently being heard by
the Western Cape High Court. Comprehensively explain the legal thinking found in the work of
Mary Joe Frug to explain how both the law, generally, and the Sexual Offences Act, specifically,
“encodes” the female body with meaning. Read the following scenario and then answer the
question below: In South Africa, prostitution constitutes a crime in terms of the Sexual Offences
