March or be silent
Despite year-long efforts to reform the Secrecy Bill in Parliament, the final draft that will appear before the National Assembly still metes out harsh prison sentences to whistle-blowers, and poses a clear threat to the free flow of information. The public is urged to join in a march in Cape Town on Saturday, 17 September 2011, to reject the final draft of the 'Secrecy Bill'.
The Right to Know Campaign urges South Africans to march 10am-1pm to Parliament in Cape Town.
The public is urged to get involved by marching, volunteering to be a marshal or by making a donation. Marchers should preferably dress in red, black and white.
