  • The University of Cape Town (UCT) filed an affidavit seeking admission as an amicus curiae in a defamation case to argue that academic freedom, protected by the South African Constitution, should provide legal safeguards for speech in academic settings. UCT proposes that academic speech be protected by 'qualified privilege' or a 'reasonableness' standard, arguing that the pursuit of knowledge requires the freedom to discuss real-world examples and contest ideas without the threat of defamation claims. The case relates to a 2017 Environmental Humanities course that discussed controversial mining and development projects in South Africa.
