Citation error ?

I have checked the first reference in "wayback machine" web, and it seems that is related to 3rd not 10th amendment : [1] Alexcalamaro (talk) 05:41, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can see why you would think that, because the numbering of constitutional amendments is a bit of a mess. Originally, this was the fourth constitutional amendment bill to be introduced in the year 2002, so it was referred to as the "Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Fourth Amendment Bill of 2002". (In the Hansard referred to you will see it deals with the third and the fourth amendment bills. The third bill became the Eleventh Amendment and the fourth bill became the Tenth Amendment.)

When passed it was the first constitutional amendment to be passed in the year 2003, so it was named the "Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Amendment Act, 2003". The numbering as the tenth amendment was only given to it by the Citation of Constitutional Laws Act, 2005. - htonl (talk) 15:02, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
