Africa urged to wake up to growing state surveillance threat

In Egypt, for example, the report said the government has used states of emergency and the lack of any surveillance law to justify surveillance abuse.

Sisi, president since 2014, says security and stability are paramount and denies there are political prisoners in Egypt. Robust privacy laws in SA did not prevent the state from abusing its surveillance powers — but an active civil society, independent media and reputable courts helped rein in the state's surveillance over-reach early this year, it said.

Surveillance can be necessary in moderation “when granted by a court of law to prevent terrorism or serious crimes”, Oloyede told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
