The Right2Know Campaign won an important victory when the ANC withdrew the Secrecy Bill from Parliament for “further consultations and debates” after a week of intensified protest in September.
The ANC’s undertaking to “engage views from the broader society” has the potential -- if fully implemented -- to meet the key Right2Know demand that the Bill in its current form be scrapped and referred back to the people.
However the Campaign’s optimism is tempered by the concern that this apparent retreat may used by securocrats within the ruling party to reclaim their dominance over ANC democrats that at last are speaking out.
The Campaign is calling on all democrats to redouble their efforts: “Now is the time for people across South Africa to make themselves heard loud and clear. No secrecy law incompatible with our right to know must reach Parliament ever again.”

The National Assembly is set to vote on the Secrecy bill on Tuesday 20 September (next week). All political parties in the POIB Committee have voted in favor of the current draft of the Bill. The Bill still fails the Right2Know Freedom Text and remains a draconian law that - if passed - will have to be challenged in the Constitutional Court. The Secrecy Bill still fails the Freedom Test!
The Right2Know Campaign is calling on all democrats to send a clear message to MPS in the NAtional Assembly: There is still time for them to scrap the Bill! They must vote against it and return it to a process of redrafting through public consultation!
Join the Right2Know campaign as we all March to Parliament this Saturday. Stop the Secrecy Bill!
DATE: Saturday 17 September 2011
TIME: 10h00 - 13h00
VENUE: Gathering at cnr of Keizersgracht and Tennant. Marching to Parliament.
