1112:, the court found that "direct horizontal application" was necessitated by "the intensity of the constitutional right in question, coupled with the potential invasion of that right which could be occasioned by persons other than the state or organs of state". In addition to these factors, Currie and de Waal suggest that the purpose of a given provision may be important in determining whether it is applicable to private conduct or not, and certain rights – such as the section 12(1) right to freedom from violence and the section 9(4) right to freedom from unfair discrimination – are explicitly binding on private conduct. 1225:, and regardless of whether it is carried out by the state (in contravention of section 9(3)) or by a person (in contravention of section 9(4)). Moreover, discrimination on a listed ground is presumed to be unfair: in terms of section 9(5), such discrimination is "unfair unless it is established that the discrimination is fair". On the other hand, in cases of discrimination on the basis of any other, non-listed ground, the constitutional threshold is higher, because only section 9(3) is applicable: under that provision, the state "may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone" on 59: 5418: 5186: 5772: 5989: 669: 6252: 2405:

Finally, subsection 25(7) provides for land restitution: "A person or community dispossessed of property after 19 June 1913 as a result of past racially discriminatory laws or practices is entitled, to the extent provided by an Act of Parliament, either to restitution of that property or to equitable redress", 19 June 1913 being the date on which the

Section 9(2) expands on this provision, stipulating that "Equality includes the full and equal enjoyment of all rights and freedoms." However, section 9(2) also provides that, "To promote the achievement of equality, legislative and other measures designed to protect or advance persons, or categories of persons, disadvantaged by unfair discrimination may be taken." Section 9(2) was applied to uphold 2393:
from taking legislative and other measures to achieve land, water and related reform, in order to redress the results of past racial discrimination". Moreover, section 25(4) provides that "the nation's commitment to land reform, and to reforms to bring about equitable access to all South Africa's natural resources" is an element of the "public interest" as deployed in sections 25(2) and 25(3).
1772:, the Constitutional Court confirmed that the categories of expression enumerated in section 16(2) fall outside of the ambit of constitutionally protected speech; however, it also held that section 16(1) protects any expression that is not specifically excluded under section 16(2), and any regulation of such expression limits the section 16(1) right. Thus, in line with 1088:, insofar as section 8(2) provides that, "A provision of the Bill of Rights binds a natural or a juristic person if, and to the extent that, it is applicable, taking into account the nature of the right and the nature of any duty imposed by the right." Section 8(3) requires that, when a court applies the Bill of Rights in this way, it may develop the 5079: 2385:

The interpretation of section 25(3)'s requirement of "just and equitable compensation" has been highly controversial. In particular, in the context of policy proposals to

Section 23(4) provides that every trade union and employers' organisation has the right "to determine its own administration, programmes and activities; to organise; and to form and join a federation", while section 23(5) provides that every trade union, employers' organisation, and employer has the right to engage in 1064: 5114: 962: 2389:, there has been significant debate about whether section 25(3) licenses expropriation where the quantum of compensation is set at zero. In 2021, Parliament considered and rejected the Constitution Eighteenth Amendment Bill, which would amend section 25 and explicitly license expropriation for nil compensation. 2446:. The right of access to housing, set out in section 26(1), is complemented, in section 26(2), by a positive responsibility on the state to take reasonable measures to achieve that right's "progressive realisation". This pair of provisions was interpreted by the Constitutional Court in the landmark case of 3594:

The extent of the jurisdiction and application of the Bill of Rights is delineated by sections 7 and 8, the bill's opening sections, which are titled "Rights" and "Application" respectively.

Remaining provisions of section 25 concern the application of property rights to the state's pursuit of land reform, thus providing a constitutional framework for land reform.

Section 39(2) is often conceived as giving rise to a second, indirect manner of enforcing or applying the Bill of Rights. In this approach, the Bill of Rights is not used directly to resolve a dispute but instead is used indirectly to interpret or develop whatever non-constitutional law governs the

These factors are not absolute and other factors that the court may deem necessary may also be taken into account. When the nature of the right is considered, the courts will have to take into account the content of the right, the importance of the right and the interest which is protected. It is,

The scope and content of the rights entrenched by this section may be ascertained by means of an interpretation process which must be informed by context that is both historical and constitutional. During the apartheid order, the majority of people in our country were denied political rights which

held that the right to freedom of association implies not only a positive right to be free to form an association but also a negative right, protecting "the freedom not to associate at all, if that be the individual's choice". On this basis, the Constitutional Court held that section 17, read with
1414:
Everyone has the right to freedom and security of the person, which includes the right— not to be deprived of freedom arbitrarily or without just cause; not to be detained without trial; to be free from all forms of violence from either public or private sources; not to be tortured in any way; and

In connection with the common law, section 39(2) has particular import for the horizontal application of the Bill of Rights in private disputes. In practice, and notwithstanding some exceptions, the Bill of Rights is not generally directly enforced in private disputes at common law – that is, its

Both section 30 and section 31 conclude with internal limitations in section 30(2) and 31(2) respectively; in each case, the limitation is the proviso that the rights referred to may not be exercised "in a manner inconsistent with any provision of the Bill of Rights". In respect of section 31(2),
