The ANC has bowed to public pressure and opted not to pass the controversial Protection of Information Bill without first defining the term, “national security”.
The new definition has been taken from a proposal by media lawyer Dario Milo.
It states that national security is the protection of the people of South Africa and the territorial integrity of the Republic against the threat of the use of force, war, terrorism, espionage, violence and sabotage.
Opposition parties have unanimously welcomed the move.
