Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi and Mr. Pholoso Seakamela discuss how public shaming can have serious legal consequences, especially defamation under South African law. Defamation harms a person's reputation and can lead to lawsuits or criminal charges. Anyone who shares or supports defamatory content may also be held liable. Courts can order removal of such content and award damages for harm caused. The conversation stresses the need to balance free speech with respect for legal rights and urges caution before public shaming.
