This edition of Acta Juridica celebrates Professor Chuma Himonga's impactful contributions to customary law and family law discourse. Himonga, a distinguished NRF-rated researcher, held the SARChI Chair in Customary Law, Indigenous Values and Human Rights at the University of Cape Town. She received the Alan Pifer Research Award in 2016 for her outstanding research benefiting South Africa's disadvantaged. As an Emeritus Professor at UCT and former Dean of Law at the University of Zambia, Himonga's work has deeply analysed African family life. The volume, Rights on the Margins, honours her academic legacy, featuring articles on family law, customary law, women's rights, evidence, succession and children's rights.
