Today I went to the committee of Justice and Constitutional Development meeting at parliament. They were debating about the Protection of Personal Information Bill. A parliamentary system with multiple parties like that is much different. There were some loud personalities, but many of their debates were germane to governance in general.
The most fascinating thing probably was that it was soccer Friday. All of the MP's were wearing Bafana Bafana stuff, so it was a bit hard to take it all very formally.
In the meeting included this guy
He was quite interesting.
Afterwords, the other half of my organization premiered their video about whistleblowers. One of the whistleblowers featured was there, so it was quite interesting.
One of my bosses was wearing a swanky soviet trenchcoat with a Mao pin. Again, I work for the Open Democracy Advice Centre. It was either frightening or ironic.
A most excellent adventure...
