Tuesday, November 22, 2011, was a big day for South Africa as journalists and citizens came together to protest the passing of the ‘Secrecy Bill.’ This piece of legislation would give the South African government the right to withhold information from its citizens and prosecute journalists who share information that may be seen as a threat to the government.
To South Africans, this passing is a step backwards in what was a once-attempt toward a democratic country.
It’s a major issue at the moment, and if you are at all interested in human rights, communications, and social justice, it is something worth reading about!
