Whilst we all agree South Africa has a corruption problem, I don't see what good could possibly come from these vigilantes except to further damage the country's reputation and investment prospects.

Actually now that I remember, there was a (fake?) video years ago about anonymous going after the ANC...

EDIT: OK, seems like it happens every few months now...

It's on their twitter page: https://twitter.com/YourAnonGlobal so there might be some truth. A story came out a year ago of a fake video showing how anonymous will take the ANC down etc.

If they hack sensitive documents exposing corruption it's it only good (Wikileaks) and action can be taken. Reputation is already going downhill quickly.

Anonymous is among us, SANRAL didn't block international for no reason
