  • Media Report: 15 April – 16 May 2016
    Gee die pas aan / Setting the pace Media report: 15 April – 16 May 2016 Major media themes for the period 1. Political woes and the impact on the economy 2. Burning of schools in Limpopo 3. Language issues in schools/universities 4. On-line registration at schools 5. Fedsas/DBE Concourt case SAOU media presence and releases Perhaps the most important issue to emerge in the period under discussion is the on-going delay of the release of the Volmink Report on the alleged sale of education posts. Clearly, there are a lot of behind- the-scenes discussions taking place and the final report and its release will be a matter of hot debate. In the meantime the SAOU has submitted its response to the preliminary report – a fact that was strongly reported by Netwerk 24. (Article is attached). The Fedsas/DBE case has not been resolved. Judgement is yet to be handed down. In the meantime the MEC for Gauteng has featured heavily in the media both provincial and national. Pronouncements ranged from on-line registration to the suggestion that every single school-shirt should carry an image of the national flag. The most impressive event, however, was the recent opening of a School of Excellence for Science and Maths in Soweto. The language issue still smoulders across the board and Die Beeld carried a series of articles written by a number of carefully selected contributors in an attempt to bring a sense of informed balance to the debate. (Articles are attached) For the most part, national news is dominated by matters concerning the President and as importantly, the current and projected state of the South African economy.

    2017 Organisational Report Our Vision “We seek a country and a world where we all have the right to know – that is to be free to access and to share information. This right is fundamental to any democracy that is open, accountable, participatory and responsive; able to deliver the social, economic and environmental justice we need. On this foundation a society and an international community can be built in which we all live free from want, in equality and in dignity.” Our Mission ● To coordinate, unify, organise and activate those who share our principles to defend and advance the right to know. ● To struggle both for the widest possible recognition in law and policy of the right to know and for its implementation and practice in daily life. ● To root the struggle for the right to know in the struggles of communities demanding political, social, economic and environmental justice. ● To propagate our vision throughout society. ● To engage those with political and economic power where necessary. ● To act in concert and solidarity with like-minded people and organisations locally and internationally.
