You spotted the gap! Self-defence is explicitly NOT a right in the South
African constitution. As far as I'm aware it isn't a human right in most of
the world's so-called democracies either - except maybe an "implied" right
vs. the 2nd Amendment to the US constitution.

Nevertheless, self-defence -should- be a "human right" IMO.
