WATCH | Mzansi hits back at 'no smack at home' ruling

The Constitutional Court ruled on Wednesday that spanking children was illegal. 

The ConCourt said the ruling had its roots in a 2017 case, in which a father was convicted of assaulting his 13-year-old son. It further stated that the ruling was meant to advance SA towards non-violence.

South African Twitter users had some funny reactions to the ruling.
