Excellent news. @ParliamentofRSA and @DOJCD_ZA were wrong in allowing post-surveillance notification to be postponed indefinitely on national security grounds and failing to make the process of issuing Rica interception directions more adversarial.
President @CyrilRamaphosa has requested the National Assembly to consider afresh the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Amendment (RICA) Bill out of concern by the President that the draft law may be vulnerable to constitutional challenge. tinyurl.com/3upf9crv

Given the recent astounding claims by ex-Minister Lindiwe Sisulu about "spying on everyone" this piece by @DuncanJane is very timely

Israel is helping Southern African states use surveillance to suppress youth-led protests. But is spyware diplomacy actually working? Because Southern African countries are taking an increasingly principled stand against Israeli apartheid and genocide. @DuncanJane
