The Bill of Rights in South Africa provides for Section 36, which sets limits to the exercise of all the rights, to ensure that the rights of one individual or group do not infringe upon the rights of others or the public interest. This means that the rights in the Bill of Rights are not absolute and can be limited in certain circumstances. Section 36 allows for the limitation of rights if it is reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality, and freedom. The limitation must be done in accordance with a law of general application, and the law must be necessary to achieve a specific purpose. The limitation must also be proportional to the purpose it seeks to achieve. This means that the limitation should not be more extensive than necessary to achieve the purpose. By providing for Section 36, the Bill of Rights seeks to balance the rights of individuals with the interests of society as a whole.
