Access to the Internet as a Human Right | Kgomotso Mokoena | TEDxUniversityofJohannesburg

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought us back to debates and proposals around making access to the internet a human right. In this talk, Kgomotso tells us that a failure to guarantee access to the internet for all would further widen the economic gap of inequality in a highly interconnected world. Creating access to the internet for all would lead to just and equitable societies and enabling free access will further enable the realisation of virtually all other rights in the Constitution. Kgomotso is a lecturer at the University of Johannesburg in the Faculty of Law. She has worked as a legal researcher for former Justice Kate O’Regan, current Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng and the late former Chief Justice Arthur Chaskalson of the Constitutional Court of South Africa. She is a fellow of both Brightest Young Minds and the Aspen Institute’s African Leadership Initiative. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
