21 May 2025, Cape Talk, John Maytham

Joining John Maytham today, is William Bird, Director of Media Monitoring Africa, one of the 15 leading civil society organisations that have condemned the minister’s actions in a joint statement. Bird has long been a champion for ethical governance, freedom of expression, and media accountability — and today he helps us unpack the legal, ethical and societal implications of what some have described as a “morally repugnant and legally void” directive.
