OPINION: No leader, however rich, powerful and influential, nor any organ of state should be above the law of the Constitution. We must fiercely protect and defend the gains of our liberation and the Constitution, writes Adil Nchabeleng.

This was a clear indication that the police and to some extent the courts were working under clear instructions from authority high above, to use state organs as a tool to suppress individual freedoms and terrorise and intimidate into silence activists who were arrested.

To understand the importance of these critical views on freedom of expression one must go back several centuries in history to a time when the world was in a dark age and people were denied basic freedoms. Basic freedoms such as freedom of expression, association, choice, scientific expression etc. She says: “During the Age of Absolutism, before the first amendment protected them from free speech if people spoke out in front of the king they would most likely be executed. The king did not allow freedom of speech because it was thought that the king was sent from God .

“Voltaire fought to make sure people were tolerant, to be tolerant it means you accept everyone for who they are. Voltaire did not want individuals who are different to be picked on. “Voltaire’s ideas are also found in the Constitution of South Africa. The right to freedom of expression.” Citizens’ revolt, chaos and mayhem will take over. The state and all its organs will collapse and cease to exist. Africa is full of such examples where democracy was hijacked and the rise of authoritarian dictatorships took control of countries and collapsed.

KhandaniM What does (NEW) dictatorship mean?

Why is it easy to usher in dictatorships in black or black led countries? Could it be that we black people don't know what democracy or freedom is or whether they exist or they are a figment of our imagination?
