There are elements of Federalism contained in the South African provincial system. For example there is National legistation regulating the Liquor Industry and each Province has its own legislation that is compatable with that legislation. Gauteng was however one of the first provinces to ammend its Liqour legislation while the essence of the old Act was still applied in the other provinces. Kwazulu-Natal was one of the main proponents of the Federal System at the time of going to the elections in 1994. In fact the Inkhata Freedom Party were withholding their participation from that election process virtually untill the last minute for reasons that included the Federal Issue.
