The African Christian Democratic Party has called for a debate in the National Assembly on balancing privacy and security. 

ACDP MP Cheryllyn Dudley said the debate needs to look at the reality of how security agencies work and identifying measures to protect the privacy of citizens. 

Dudley said both security and privacy are extremely important and the degree in which one is traded in the place of the other must be a priority concern.

“We need to open a debate on this because it is key, but to really apply our minds we to take into consideration the views of both the special and civil rights of privacy advocates” added Dudley.
