The MK party parliamentarian is facing charges related to terrorism and incitement to violence for allegedly fuelling the July 2021 unrest.Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla’s prosecution for her alleged role in the July 2021 unrest could be a defining moment for free speech on social media.
“Even if beliefs are widely held, their expression can still be considered incitement if it creates a clear and present danger of imminent lawless action,” Bregman explained.South Africa holds its right to free speech dear, but Director of the Free Speech Union of South Africa Sara Gon explained that freedom is not absolute.
“This distinction is necessary because it balances the fundamental right to free speech with the need to protect society from harmful speech,” stated Bregman.Free speech absolutists argue that those hearing inflammatory sentiments should take responsibility for their own actions and not blame the source.“The law ascribes similar importance to words as it does to actions, recognising that words can have tangible, real-world consequences.
