Black Tuesday (22nd)

[w1z4rd]

Hey guys and girls, this is important! Could everyone please wear black tomorrow to protest against the government and its attempt to muffle the media. Tomorrow is black tuesday so if you want to show your solidarity in protesting the bill, please wear black on Tuesday the 22nd. If you cant wear black please wear a black armband. Please spam all your social networking sites and all your friends with this information

This is a play on a historic Apartheid incident:

"The NPC has named its campaign "Black Tuesday", based on what became known as "Black Wednesday" - October 19 1977 when the apartheid government banned The World, the Sunday World and a Christian publication Pro Veritas, as well almost 20 people and organisations associated with the black consciousness movement."

Its symbolic, and the start of solidarity

 

[GreGorGy]

I always wear black but tomorrow I will wear the other colours in my wardrobe in solidarity with Mac Maharaj and the way the media are trying to bully him.




OK, I lied. In solidarity with Don Mattera.

Agreed. The ANC don't really give a hoot to be honest...

Johannesburg - The National Press Club's plans for this week's vote on the protection of state information bill are a senseless distortion of facts, the ANC Chief Whip in Parliament said on Monday.

"The only result this unfortunate comparison and the planned campaign, in which people are urged to dress in black, will achieve is to dilute the real history of the Black Wednesday and insult the victims of apartheid's barbaric laws," Chief Whip Mathole Motshekga said in the statement.
