22 November 2011 - The End of Democracy in South Africa

MP's have just voted in favour of the Secrecy Bill at Parliament in Cape Town today.

Freedom of expression is one of the foundations of a Democracy and our government has swiftly removed it, despite the overwhelming public outcry against it.

The government has willfully acted against its people, much like the old Apartheid regime and the people see no other alternative than to take the countrywide voice of resistance to the constitutional court.

The citizens of South Africa will no longer lie down and see our country being dragged downwards and crippled.

Those responsible will answer to the constitution of South Africa.
