We call on President Zuma and the African National Congress to follow through on their pledge of a fully public and consultative process on this Bill. While civil society, including Media Monitoring Africa, has stated its willingness to challenge the Bill at the Constitutional Court, we believe it is not too late for President Zuma to ensure the Bill can pass constitutional muster. We call on President Zuma to send the Bill back for revision.   2011-11-22T13:08:30+00:00 http://www.mediamonitoringafrica.org/index.php/news/entry/media_monday_-_hot_topics_and_topics_that_make_us_hopping_mad_21_november_2/ http://www.mediamonitoringafrica.org/index.php/news/entry/media_monday_-_hot_topics_and_topics_that_make_us_hopping_mad_21_november_2/#When:11:16:29Z On the menu this Media Monday: ·         Mac Maharaj vs the media: is he exercising his right or is the public’s interest of paramount? ·         SOS Coalition to picket outside the SABC building ·         16 Days of Activism: do we care, and why should we?
