How to use social media responsibly for fighting gender-based crimes

However, Sadleir warned that people must be careful what they are retweeting or sharing on social media. People who want to be socially active and support victims on social media can do so responsibly, ensuring that they guard against legal risk.“The law says that every single person in the chain of publication is responsible for content.

In South Africa, you can defame the hell out of people, provided what you are saying is true and for the benefit of the public. Earlier this year, Thato “DJ Fresh” Sikwane obtained a court order interdicting and restraining poet/musician Ntsiki Mazwai from mentioning him in a defamatory manner.
