Join the debate - Is press freedom under threat in South Africa?
The new Protection of State Information Bill replaces the Protection of State Information Act of 1982. The new bill and its amendments have been passed by National Assembly and Council of Provinces, however President Jacob Zuma refused to sign it into law in September of 2013. It was subsequently sent back to National Assembly for reconsideration
In light of the provisions of the Protection of State Information Bill, the jamming of parliament's signal and the public denunciation of media dissent by various politicians, we ask, "Is the South Africa media's freedom to inform the public under threat?"
