South Africa: Blindsa Litigation to Improve Access to Learning Materials for Pupils Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired

[Daily Maverick] On 21 September 2021, SECTION27 will represent BlindSA in litigation in the High Court against government departments that seeks to declare the 1978 Copyright Act unconstitutional. This is because of the failure of the act to grant a copyright exemption to persons who are blind or visually impaired that will enable them to convert education materials into accessible formats they can use, like Braille.
