What secrets does your organisation want to know?
The list will be drawn up in a series of mass meetings in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape, featuring 'testimonies' from communities and organisations on the secrets they face that obstruct them from fulfilling their rights.
The purpose behind the list is twofold: first, to document existing needs in civil society and community-based organisations regarding information-access; second, to provide a rallying point for organised attempts to access that information.
Organisations can make a verbal testimony at one of its public meetings in March 2011 or make a written submission. Contact the provincial Right2Know campaign office at:

Gauteng: +27 (0)11 4821913 or email az.gro.ixf@2resinagro
KZN: +27 (0)31 3049305 or email moc.oohay@nzkk2r.
