    "content": "Congress (ANC) understood that a good reason why apartheid was very difficult to defeat was because the apartheid Government did not release information to the black people of South Africa. So, when ANC took over power, a law on access to information was one of the main laws that the Government then enacted. Nigeria, Ethiopia, Liberia and Rwanda have now passed access to information laws. Let me clarify to this House early enough that national security is protected. Information around national security is exempt information. Nobody would want to interfere with national security programmes, plans and ideas. However, it is also true that an ignorant society is not a safe society. At different times, information relating to matters critical would have to be released. However, a lot of information on national security would be protected against release unless it is connected to trading or contracts. Again, corruption in national security agencies is not protected from disclosure. It is only real national security information that is protected."
