Increasing citizen-state interaction in modern society is inevitable. As the most fundamental law of the land the Constitution should therefore make provision for special institutions to monitor these interactions. The article attempts to describe briefly some of the monitoring institutions which were created in terms of the new Interim Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and to make some provisional observations in this regard. The need for extensive research on all aspects of the Constitution, particularly during the next two years, is stressed.
