Section 16, in collaboration with the Open Society Foundation for South Africa (OSF-SA) and Webber Wentzel Attorneys, invite you to attend the final seminar on Media and the Law.

Section 16 is a non-profit and non-governmental organisation which advocates for law reform in the area of freedom of expression and access to information. Its mandate is to defend and advance the right to freedom of expression and access to information in South Africa.
