None of us understand freedom of speech - Cliff
Johannesburg - Controversial media personality Gareth Cliff on Saturday said people in South Africa did not really understand freedom of speech, including himself.
Cliff was reflecting back on the tweet he sent out in the midst of the Penny Sparrow debacle, which led to M-Net removing him from reality singing show Idols.
Cliff lodged an urgent application in the High Court in Johannesburg and on Friday M-Net was ordered to re-instate him.
"In terms of what was right, the text of the tweet stands," he told reporters in Johannesburg at CliffCentral headquarters.
"People really don't understand freedom of speech, including me. I don't think there is anyone who could definitively say that they do, so we are back where we started."
