The Supreme Court (SCA) judgement handed down now clears the way for Independent Media to publish contents of the leaked SSA report.

The judgement handed down on Friday now clears the way for Independent Media to publish contents of the leaked SSA report., which barred Independent Newspapers from publishing the details of its “secret” report on alleged US perceptions of the African National Congress .

“Having outlined the salient features of the report, the statement by counsel and the testimony of Mr Scott that the report was compiled by thein collaboration with the SSA is simply not correct. Far from being a co-author of the report, the USA Embassy appears to be the subject of counter-surveillance by the SSA,” the judge ruled.“A copy of the report was given to each member of the court.

“The second relates to the implicated people in that report who happen to be high office bearers of political office. The type of information that is being disseminated with regards to the factions of the ruling party and who still in those. “It says that it is taking note of the allegations, which had been widely reported about factions in the ruling party, to influence the ruling party’s policy. Mr Scott’s evidence conveyed to the court an impression that the report contained ‘sensitive’ allegations against individuals who are ‘implicated’ in something sinister or some wrongdoing.
