On Saturday 25th October 2014, the Right2Know Gauteng will be hosting a public dialogue entitled, ‘How Secrecy Affects Our Lives’ in Meadowlands Zone 3, Soweto.

South Africa is facing a crisis of secrecy. Whether as applied to the arms deal, Nkandla, the proposed nuclear programme, e-tolls, etc, a veil of secrecy is being thrown up to prevent the public’s right to know. As a result, we are faced with parallel crisis of corruption at all levels in both the public and private sectors, of accountability and ultimately, of our democracy.

Join us, together with the Public Protector’s office, the South African History Archive, Corruption Watch and others to interrogate and discuss secrecy and accountability.
Time: 10h00AM - 12h00PM
Venue: Bapedi Community Hall opposite Meadow Point

Meadowlands Zone 3
