    Constitutionally guaranteeing information flow
    Van Wyk, Cornelia Toerien Laura ( 2023-06)
    The thesis outlines the potential and limits of the constitutional recognition of a right to information. Relying on doctrinal and comparative methodology, it draws insights from the South African experience. The research suggests that, while there are theoretically solid justifications for recognising the right, constitutional recognition does not necessarily achieve the goals envisaged for it in practice. To achieve its potential, such a right needs continued acknowledgement and active support from all the branches of government of the state as a whole.
