South African parliament passes controversial secrecy law

Tags: desmond tutu freedom of the press jacob zuma nelson mandela press freedom south africa south africa secrecy south africa whistleblowing whistleblowing 17 • Permalink

cause The South African parliament passed a bill on Tuesday that they say is intended to “save lives, to enhance and to protect the freedom and security of persons, to bring criminals to justice, to protect the national security and to engage in effective government and diplomacy.” Jacob Zuma is expected to sign it into law.
reaction The bill has further strained the relationship between the press and the government. Many believe the law is an attempt to shield the country’s elite from criticism and prevent whistleblowing. A number of anti-apartheid leaders have also come out against the bill, including Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, who called it “insulting.” source
