Based on the information provided, the correct answer is "will prohibit you to do so, as you will be breaking the law, specifically the South African Copyright Act No 98 of 1978."
Copyright law protects original works, including videos like those found on YouTube, and typically requires permission from the copyright holder to use their work. In South Africa, the Copyright Act No 98 of 1978 protects copyright holders' exclusive rights, including reproduction and communication to the public. The act does not explicitly mention "fair use" exceptions like some other countries' copyright laws do, which means that using a YouTube video clip without permission can be considered a copyright infringement in South Africa.
