Madam House Chair, hon Minister, 12 February 2015 marks the day this country became an overly ANC-led securotocracy. We have never been poorer at any other time in the last 20 years in terms of our much- vaunted Constitution.
Hon Minister, you took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution and the rights enshrined therein, which include the right to freedom of speech.
How do you correlate your department's actions on 12 February 2015 with your role as guardian of our Constitution, even if it was unintentional? Do you see South Africa as now being a state-controlled securotocracy? Thank you.
