Violation of Privacy in the name of Public Intrest

Violation of Privacy trough media seems to be an ongoing norm to sell news papers. Press freedom has lost it's self respect and any personal information of any kind from high profile people are deemed public domain. This is not true and the odds is stagging against Freedom of Speech as National News Papers feeds their greed with the sorry of others. This is sad times for a democratic South Africa.

Reports on President Zuma and his wife

4 June 2010

The Presidency has noted with great concern reports that violate the privacy of President Jacob Zuma and his wife Mrs Nompumelelo Zuma, published in the media on 3 and 4 June 2010.

The reports appear to be part of an ongoing and malicious campaign to undermine the right of the President and his family to privacy and dignity.

President Zuma continues to be seized with matters of State and will not be diverted from his duties. He will not dignify such gossip with a response.
