Section 16: Freedom of speech and expression

Everyone has the right to say what they want, including the press and other media.

Limiting this right

There are certain kinds of speech that are not protected. These are:

propaganda for war
inciting (encouraging) people to use violence
hate speech

Hate speech means spreading hatred and encouraging people to act violently or harmfully towards other people because of their race, gender, ethnic origin or religion. In other words, hate speech encourages people to discriminate against other people. http://www.paralegaladvice.org.za/docs/chap01/05.html

I think ruling against Malema is more than fair according to the constitution.

Let's see he mentions :

*Shoot, shoot = harmful, it's enticing people on to harm the Afrikaners. Some people say Kill, that's even worse.

* Boer, Boer is a South African ethnicity, the ethnicity that he sings should be shot.

Yip, great ruling judge

I'm sure nobody else would like to hear songs about their race/ethnicity being shot or killed right?
