SPEAK OUT AGAINST SECRECY: MARCH TO PARLIAMENT!
South Africans, demand the Right to Know! STOP THE SECRECY BILL!
It’s been almost one year since R2K mounted its first march on
Parliament in protest at the draconian Secrecy Bill!
Through the efforts of our membership of civil society organisations, social movements and community groups, we have ensured that many of the draconian clauses have been removed or revised. But despite 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 whistleblowers, and poses a clear threat to the free flow of information.
On Saturday 17 September (10am-1pm), thousands of South Africans will join in a march to Parliament to reject the final draft of the ‘Secrecy Bill’.

Time for mass action once more (via Mail & Guardian Online)
“The struggle for equal and quality education was a prominent part of the uprising that broke the back of apartheid in the 1980s. But since democracy there has been little sustained community organising and mass mobilisation around education.
The People’s Summit for Quality Education to be held from June 25 to 27 in Khayelitsha and at the University of Cape Town (UCT) is a sign that this has begun to change. About 360 students, parents, teachers, activists and academics from across the country will attend the summit, which serves notice that a new phase in the battle to realise everyone’s right to a quality education has begun.”
