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'.
March or be silent

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.
