Can SABC invoke the right to freedom of expression?

Answer 1

Yes, the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) can invoke the right to freedom of expression as it is protected under Section 16 of the South African Constitution. This right encompasses the freedom of the press and other media, allowing SABC to express and disseminate information, opinions, and ideas. However, this right is not absolute and must be balanced with other rights and responsibilities, including adherence to ethical standards and regulations governing broadcasting.
