The Local Government Elections will take place on Wednesday, 4 November. 🗳️ 🇿🇦
From water and sanitation to roads and refuse removal, municipalities shape our daily lives.
Do you know what your municipality is responsible for? Why should we vote? And how do municipal elections actually work?

Scapegoating migrants, spreading misinformation, promoting discrimination and inciting hostility have no place in responsible electioneering.
Let's demand political campaigns that unite, not divide.

👀 A video of a ballot box being opened. A post claiming votes were secretly changed. Does that mean election fraud? Not necessarily. Before you believe or share claims about rigged elections, find out what the evidence actually shows.

1. The site: KnowNews flags whether it is credible.
2. The ad: compare it at padre.org.za
3. The post: report it at real411.org.za/complaints/su…

Wins in the High Court in Pretoria in the AM - alongside our friends at @amaBhungane, @dailymaverick and @_FreeExpression - and in the High Court in Johannesburg in the PM. Both strenghten press freedom, accountability and transparency.

A win for open justice and access as the SSA capitulates at the Pretoria High Court. The media and public now have access to a major state capture trial. news24.com/investigations/ss…
Campaign For Free Expression retweeted
Had it not been for the media and civil society, the public would have had no knowledge that this trial was proceeding or how it is being conducted. Well done to our co-applicants, @News24 @dailymaverick @amaBhungane and our spectacular legal team.

That is not what is being asked for. We recognise that there may be legitimate national security concerns relating to particular witnesses and evidence. But non-disclosure must be narrowly carved and properly justified. As our highest court has long held.
Campaign For Free Expression retweeted
More moves to keep the state of the SSA, its conduct and decisions outside of public scrutiny. Of course there are instances where national security considerations may demand non-disclosure. But following Zondo and HLRP, surely the imperative of scrutiny must weigh heaviest.
HAPPENING NOW: Madlanga Commission evidence leaders are applying for testimony about what SA intelligence authorities knew about criminal infiltration of law enforcement to be heard in camera (secret).
@amaBhungane, @dailymaverick and @News24 are opposing this.

A fight worth having. Today, the SSA will oppose an application by @News24, @amaBhungane, @dailymaverick, and the Campaign for @_FreeExpression to access the trial of Zuma's superspy. It goes to the heart of constitutionalism. news24.com/investigations/cl… via @news24
