Osotsi, that we have very many cases across the country of formerly lodged complaints by bloggers and people in the cyberspace, who have been threatened for expressing political or other views on the cyberspace. We have established a special unit within the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI), which is handling threats and criminal activities that are being perpetuated on bloggers and people who exercise their freedom of expression through cyberspace and get intimidated, harassed or punished for it. So, we have set up a special unit which is monitoring content that could be hateful or perhaps incite violence. At the same time, that is the same unit that is responsible for protecting the freedom of expression through the cyberspace to ensure that bloggers and other people who express themselves do not attract criminal responses."
