When South African law is described as not being codified, it means that the legal principles and rules are not systematically organized into a single written code or statute. Instead, South African law relies on a combination of statutes, common law, and customary law, resulting in a legal system that is more fragmented and reliant on judicial interpretation. This allows for flexibility and adaptability but can also lead to inconsistencies and uncertainties in legal outcomes.
