Sanef deputy chairperson, and editor of the Star newspaper, Makhudu Sefara speaks with Mmanaledi Mataboge about the police’s threat of legal action over intercepted calls involving police commissioner Riah Phiyega. This comes shortly after the Independent Police Investigative Directorate confirmed that it is to probe claims of defeating the ends of justice against Phiyega. It is alleged that Phiyega tipped off Western Cape police commissioner Arno Lamoer about a crime intelligence investigation against him. The South African Police Service is relying on the Protection of Information Act of 1982 – which is to be replaced by the Protection of State Information Bill, or secrecy Bill – to curb the release of “classified” information. Sefara tells us why this action could be a blow to press freedom.
