What does it mean when we say that rights are not absolute? South Africa’s Constitution guarantees fundamental freedoms, but Section 36 – the general limitations clause – sets out when and how rights can be restricted in a democratic society.
In this video, we break down:
✅ The purpose of Section 36 (Currie & de Waal, Bill of Rights Handbook)
✅ The proportionality test: nature of the right, importance of purpose, extent of limitation, relation, and less restrictive means
✅ Prince v President, Cape Law Society (2002) – religious freedom vs public health
✅ SATAWU v Garvas (2013) – the right to protest vs public safety
✅ Key principles of rights limitation in South Africa
By the end, you’ll understand how courts balance individual freedoms with collective responsibilities in South Africa’s constitutional democracy.
