Cyber Law & Children's Dignity
Loading player...
Mr. Pholoso Seakamela joins Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi to unpack Cyber Law, focusing on children's right to dignity amid a trending case where a teacher humiliated a learner on social media. South Africa's Cybercrimes Act criminalizes online harassment, defamation, and child exploitation—teachers posting shaming videos violate POCA (Protection of Children Against Abuse) and constitutional dignity rights (Section 10).
Key Protections:
Schools must report cyberbullying to SAPS within 24 hours.
Victims can access a free cybercrime helpline (08600 10111) for content takedown.
Offenders face fines and imprisonment; platforms are liable for non-removal.
Mr. Seakamela urges: Adults model digital ethics—viral shaming destroys young souls; amplify grace, not humiliation.
Tune in for clarity, empowering parents and educators to safeguard children's online dignity!
