Lusanda Bill
26 May 2011
The ANC seems poised to use its majority to push the controversial Protection of Information Bill through Parliament.
Observers say the ruling party seems to have abandoned a consensus-seeking approach in the committee discussing the bill, and will outvote the opposition if necessary.
The secrecy bill, gives officials the right to declare almost any government information classified.
It also prescribes harsh prison sentences for people found guilty of exposing such information.
