Deafening silence..

Protection of State Information Bill - in favour 229; 107 against... 

I suppose we all thought the government would do its duty. In these impure, politically-bereft and often emotionally draining times, nepotistic leaders (sic) callously impugn the dignity of the people. Described as a vote of tactical defiance or partisan politics for the sake of defiance, South Africa's government took its first steps down the constitutionally slippery slope reminiscent of the draconian heavy-handedness employed by the apartheid-masters against which, perversely, many of the aye-vote STRUGGLED against.

A shining African light for democracy no more.
