The ANC has bowed to pressure on the Protection of State Information Bill, proposing much greater protection for journalists and whistle-blowers.

In November 2011, the National Assembly passed the Secrecy Bill, ignoring a monumental public outcry. It was a sad day for South Africa's democracy, and it became known as Black Tuesday.

South Africa's democracy is at risk! An unconstitutional Secrecy Bill is in Parliament and a Media Tribunal has been endorsed by the ANC, which would muzzle the media, and threaten democratic freedoms.
