We must support and protect free speech and the establishment of the fourth estate. I come from a country where apartheid destroyed the essence of truth.My question is, when did the truth become a crime?. We have a right to know what are 'Leaders' are doing. Nelson Mandela was called the Black pimpernel for upholding the truth and for seeking justice.Today he stands as a beacon of hope to all people. I salute you Julian, May God protect you.
