International trends show that countries are taking the issue of social media usage a lot more seriously. However, social media usage in Africa, both by companies, employees and general citizens is still relatively new. Social media has become an integral part of life; social networks have inevitably and dramatically affected the law, litigation, and trial strategy. Whatever you publish on social media could land you in serious trouble.  

Our studio guests are Mpho Thulare who is a senior associate at ENSafrica technology, media and telecommunications department, we will have Khomotso Makapane who is a social media lawyer, a representative from the department of justice and other people who have been victims of social media laws.
