dc.description.abstractIn South Africa, the status of being an unrehabilitated insolvent has many effects and one of them is the disqualification from being a member of parliament (MP). This article considers the constitutional disqualification of unrehabilitated insolvents to serve as MPs within the context of statutory restrictions that apply to such insolvents. It further discusses the rationale for the constitutional disqualification of unrehabilitated insolvents to serve as MPs in light of international guidelines that advocate for the protection of the income of the debtor that is necessary for the insolvent and his dependents to live decent lives taking into account possible changing living standards. The pertinent question is whether such reasons are still justifiable considering international policy considerations.en_US
