Democratic Alliance and Independent Democrats leaders, Helen Zille and Patricia de Lille, lead a protest march against the proposed Protection of Information Bill and Media Tribunal on Constitution Hill, in Johannesburg today.
Both leaders warned that the government is trying to put an end to free media.
Zille said the proposed bill and media tribunal signals a return to apartheid-era censorship and secrecy.
They are designed to protect the ruling party from public scrutiny and are a clear and present danger to out constitution.
They present a clear and present danger to our constitutional order and refuse to accept that our constitutional democracy will one day be seen as a brief interlude between two authoritarian regimes.
Both refused to see the ANC taking us back to time where government tried to control everything we saw, heard and read.
