The module you have just completed can be regarded as the first step to eventually
fulfilling a role in the justice system. Now we would like you to reflect on what you have
learned and how this knowledge has affected your view of the law, the justice system
and the people who uphold the law in this country. In other words, we want you to
begin to formulate your personal philosophy of justice. Compile a document of no less
than 2500 words in which you reflect on the issues below.
1. In the case of H v W, Judge Nigel Willis had this to say "...The law has to take into
account changing realities not only technologically but also socially or else it will lose
credibility in the eyes of the people. without credibility, law loses legitimacy. If law lose
legitimacy, it loses acceptance, If it loses acceptance, it loses obedience. It is
imperative that the courts respond appropriately to changing times, acting cautiously
and with wisdom."
With that in mind:
1.1. The Impact of social media on the constitutional right to privacy
In terms of South African law. The right to privacy is under the terms of the common
law and section 14 of the Constitution of South Africa 1996. Social media plays a huge
role in our society and forms an easy way of communication and status within the
current world, but with social media being beneficial there are complications with the
privacy of the people. Sharing one’s details with companies or store markets for
benefits whilst having to deal with options of being tracked or pestered by
advertisements seems to be as if the privacy of a person’s communication being
, attacked. Sometimes a person’s privacy can be affected through their own decisions.
A person may share something and depend on the content of what’s been shared, the
shared post may be in the possession of other people who had found such post. This
can also be viewed as a way for someone to mock or cause hatred to the person who
initially shared. People should be aware that once someone posts private information
on social media; their information can be published of sort by normal forms of media
or news.
1.2 Freedom of Expression
The right to freedom of expression entails that a person has the freedom of the press
and other media; freedom to receive or impart information or ideas; freedom of artistic
creativity; and academic freedom and freedom of scientific research. However, this
does exclude propaganda for war; incitement of imminent violence; or advocacy of
hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and that constitutes
incitement to cause harm. Social media has benefited the right to freedom of
expression, through the constant sharing of opinions and other forms of expressions
mentioned within the right. Social media assists people depending on the situation;
social media is forever growing and with that comes the assistance of others who will
try to help through cyber protests or spreading the word of the current situation of the
problem at hand. Although social media may be something that may negatively affect
people’s freedom of expression. It instead gives provides an opportunity for a vast
amount of people to share their form of expression and thus creating a positive impact
within many lives.
2. How does corruption impact on service delivery?
Corruption creates economic misrepresentations and redirects money owed to income
grants, eligibility for housing or pensions, and weakens service delivery. If service
delivery is stalled it would cause corruption which mainly affects the poor as they are
more dependent on the government through housing, healthcare, education, security,
and welfare. Corruption consumes a large amount of money every year, which in
return has communities often express their hindrance and discontent with the poor
