QUESTION 1 (4 DIFFERENT ANSWERS PROVIDED)
The case of Mdlekeza v Gallie revolves around a defamation claim where the applicant,

significant impact on his professional and personal life. This case is a pertinent example of
how defamation law is applied, the balancing of rights involved, and the assessment of
damages. This analysis will explore the key legal principles of defamation as applied in this
case, the two-stage inquiry used by the court, and the factors influencing the award of
