"I will lead the A.N.C ,You must put it in the archive" are words spoken by African Youth League President Julius Malema.From a journalist perspective I believe that the media plays a role in ensuring that political leaders manage or face criticism an example is that of entertainment. Every person has the right to freedom of expression.
The "protection of information bill", Julius Malema trying to close down twitter are just some of the examples to express how the medias voice is trying to be closed down by government.

Why do political leaders want to close down the medias voice? there are ethics involved in the medias voice usage.
its not the first time that they have tried to do this. Social media is a place where your opinion and perspectives are placed for the world to see and respond, relationships are built and it is fun to exchange views and be shaped into an individual that makes decisions based on the availability of information as well as how well developed you become intellectually by reading information.
Can the media be silenced? I think it slowly is becoming silenced.
