It seems Magaqa, who has presumably been fired, tweeted the news yesterday afternoon.
ANN7 is the 24-hour news channel launched by the politically connected Gupta family.
City Press reports that ANN7 is keeping mum on Asanda Magaqa's tweet and "would not answer questions today about a tweet posted by one of its reporters that she was escorted from the company's premises."
Counsel for the Minister of Police Nkosinathi Nhleko, claims however, that revealing which buildings and places are NKPs would place national security at risk.
Right2Know Campaign counsel argues that this argument simply doesn't 'stand up to logical scrutiny'.
There are some 200 national key points and while many are obvious, others are not and the refusal of the minister to provide such a list means that members of the media (and the public) could innocently transgress the law. Some critics of the government argument believe it also means that any installation could be suddenly named as a national key point in order to deflect unwelcome media attention when the latter are investigating corruption or shoddy building materials, for example.
According to the Mail & Guardian report, responding to the argument made by counsel for the minister, who said that revealing which buildings and places were NKPs would place national security at risk, advocate for the campaign, Steven Budlender, said: "The assumption through papers is that saying a place is a NKP and will be detrimental to state security ... is simply untenable as a matter of logic, matter of fact, and events that have transpired in this case."
