Legal Restraints on Newspapers

Chapter 5 in The Press and Apartheid, 1984, pp 102-129 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract “South Africa has the freest press in Africa.” Sometimes uttered as a boast by progovernment supporters and sometimes as a grudging admission by government critics, that statement is heard again and again inside and outside South Africa. Visitors to the country are invariably impressed with its outspoken and lively newspapers, particularly the English-language ones, especially when they are criticizing or jousting with the National party government.
