| Abstract: | The Media and Defamation Act, Act No. XI of 2018, was passed on 24 April 2018. After it comes into force, it will replace the Press Act of 1974 (with regard to Legal Notice 150 of 2018 dated 8 May 2018, it already came into force on 14 May 2018). It must be noted that there were two Media and Defamation Bills presented to the House of Representatives during 2017. The first was Bill No 192, dated 24 February 2017. However, it provoked such a negative reaction that during the parliamentary session ending in May 2017, the Government agreed to overhaul it. |
