I suppose most of the people on this forum are from the post 1990,s era and are not aware of the previous regime’s policies of mind control by enforcing a total media blackout of any subject or notion that they deemed undesirable. In those days there were not much satellite TV and no Internet so they only had to jam uncontrolled shortwave radio stations and closedown a few newspapers to achieve this. To attempt anything like that today is ridiculous, childish and an insult to every South African!
A discussion was started yesterday about “windows activators”: someone asked where any could be found and to my knowledge no real links were supplied but never the less the whole discussion were removed in its entirety: this is not just typical “old regime” type disregard for freedom of speech but also reeks of hypocrisy because previously a lot of information were obtainable about how and where to obtain the 15$ Windows 8 upgrade even if one did not qualify for it. People did not just talk about obtaining the upgrade illegally but also bragged about it yet those discussions were allowed?
As Tannie Eveta would say: SIES!
