The Right 2 Know Campaign will mark Press Freedom Day on Friday with a protest at the SABC in Auckland Park, Johannesburg as well as at the regional offices of cell companies, MTN and Vodacom in Cape Town and Durban.
Campaign spokesperson Murray Hunter says the SABC protest will highlight the suspicion that the SABC building is a National Key Point.
"One of the real concerns that we have is the national key point act which in the apartheid era-secrecy laws that allows certain government departments and private business to be declared National Key points, because they are crucial to national security and then the public cant access information from these secretive key points" Hunter said.
He says the protests at the MTN and VODACOM regional offices will mark the first public demonstration against the high cost of mobile communication.
"The cost of telecommunication in South Africa is artificially inflated and as a result citizens simply cannot afford access to these technologies that are meant to facilitate communication and ensure oor freedom of expression" he said.
