You must choose whether you are researching the topic using the historical approach or the comparative approach (see explanation below)

A) Historical research approach.

This means looking at the historical development of the law on the issue from a specific date in the past up to the present day. You will look at relevant case law and legislation that  might have contributed to the law as it stands today. You will also consider law reform commission reports on the given topic. Writings by scholars can assist in interpreting the law and evaluating its application and effectiveness. For purposes of the historical approach, you focus on the historical developments in South Africa only.

OR

B) Comparative research approach:

This means looking at the current legal position in one jurisdiction and comparing it to the current legal position in another jurisdiction. For purposes of this research proposal, you must look at the laws of South Africa and Zimbabwe. Legislation, case law, law reform commission reports and writings by scholars should be consulted. You will not go into detail about the historical developments of the law on the issue in these two jurisdictions but analyze and compare the current legal position.
