Freedom of the media

Today at the seminar that was conducted by Dario Milo of Webber Wentzel Bowens, an interesting discussion emerged about media reporting and hate speech. The group felt that this topic was rather interesting and not an easy one to resolve. We discussed the UKhozi FM dilemma about the song AmaNdiya by Mbongeni Ngema, and there appeared to be very different views: Some thought that the song was a should be allowed under freedom of expression, while others felt it was hate speech and discrimination against the Indian nation. What are your views on the matter?
