Huh? The next Zimbabwe, run by the communist ANC, is not as free as many had thought?
Heavens....!

The article states that guarantees of free speech are written into South Africa's constitution, and this court ruling appears to be the first major, direct affront to that through the courts.

My added title to this thread was meant partially as a tongue in cheek statement, in response to so many on the Left who heralded the arrival of the ANC as a 'new wave of freedom and equality'.  We can see how very wrong they were, as usual.
