Mail & Guardian ‘censored’
The Mail & Guardian hit the streets on Friday with the front page featuring a picture of Presidency spokesman Mac Maharaj alongside the words, in bold: “Censored. We cannot bring you this story in full due to a threat of criminal prosecution.”
According to a tweet on social networking site Twitter, its editor Nic Dawes said: “Just learned that the NPA Act has sections as bad as #secrecybill. Your M&G will look butchered tomorrow. Blame Mac Maharaj.”
On Twitter Dawes also posted a link to a picture of the weekly's front page for Friday, saying in another tweet: “Sorry to give you a paper that looks like this. A glimpse of life under #secrecybill.”
