The hearings into the proposed Protection of Information Bill have resumed in Parliament.
The chairperson of the ad hoc committee dealing with the Bill, Cecil Burgess, says they will not be able to satisfy everyone.

Activists claim the Bill, in its current form, seriously infringes on South Africa’s basic media freedoms.
