  • Secrecy Bill Opponents Claim Small Victory

    The ratifying of the Protection of Information bill may be delayed. Opponents of the so-called Secrecy Bill – 3 000 of whom took to the streets of Cape Town on Saturday in support of the Right2Know campaign – may have claimed a minor victory in their battle against the controversial Bill. Further vigils will take place across the country tonight.

    ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe said at lunch time that the ruling party wants to bring all its members up to speed with what the Bill means and how it will operate, and that it will not be pushed through to the National Assembly yet.

    At the moment, critics are complaining that the draft legislation in its current state will, if enacted, introduce laws that could be used to cover up corruption and maladministration just a tad too easily.  Not great.

    Right2Know will be holding candlelight vigils protesting the Bill from 6pm to 8pm in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg this evening.
