PW Botha wagged his finger and banned us in 1988 but we stood firm. We built a reputation for fearless journalism, then, and now. Through these last 35 years, the Mail & Guardian has always been on the right side of history.

Also on the same situation, grandmother passed away last Thursday in EC,just before lockdown, was still at work in GP. And now am in Lockdown, can’t even attend 😔
Can’t judges use their own discretion? Or does the law not allow that?
Sad news... What should we do? The Minister of Saps must intervene here...
