President of the Republic of South Africa and Others v M & G Media Ltd (CCT 03/11) [2011] ZACC 32; 2012 (2) BCLR 181 (CC); 2012 (2) SA 50 (CC) (29 November 2011)

This 2011 Constitutional Court case involved the President and government entities versus M&G Media regarding access to information. The ruling predates PAIA's full maturity and the establishment of the Information Regulator (2016), but represents foundational jurisprudence on transparency and access rights that would later inform the Regulator's mandate under both PAIA and POPIA.
