Design of Publication: Social Media & You

  • In collaboration with Zella Tech Law
Get Started

Developments in the South African legal landscape have created legal consequences as to how individuals and businesses conduct themselves online.

The increased use of social media platforms necessitates that certain behaviours are regulated to ensure that Constitutional rights are upheld , especially the right to privacy.


This is an exploration of the manner in which behaviour is regulated privately and in the work environment.

As part of this session we consider:

  • The value of social media as an industry;
  • navigating social media risks;
  • The applicable laws; and
  • brand damage.
