PRESS FREEDOM: SSA seeks to shut media, public out of R12m spy trial, citing intelligence risk
Only Daily Maverick reports this: no contrast yet
None of the other outlets we follow has reported this story, so there are no versions to compare. If others publish it or data appear that test it, it will move to the comparison.
The State Security Agency wants the media and public banned from attending and reporting on the trial of former intelligence officials Thulani “Silence” Dlomo and Patrick Mshothola, claiming that it could expose intelligence sources, operational methods and classified information. Media organisations are fighting for access.
