Original Note:
Section 16(2) of the Constitution provides that the right to freedom of expression does not extend to, among other things, hate speech. But misinformation, deliberate or otherwise, is protected under s16(1) so this statement put out by the government is not correct. https://www.gov.za/documents/constitution/chapter-2-bill-rights#16
