“The impending passage of the Protection of Information Bill, over the objections of a consensus of civic organizations and media organizations, without adequate protection for public interest and “whistle-blowers” poses a great threat to the integrity of democracy in South Africa.
The South African Centre for Religious Equality and Diversity [SACRED] joins in urging all South Africans to heed the call to wear black on Tuesday, 22nd November as a demonstration of their sympathy with this viewpoint, in protest of the darkening of the horizon of democracy, press freedom and judicial integrity.”
