The African National Congress feels the "censorship" done to their entry on internet encyclopædia, Wikipedia, is "outright vandalism" and uncivilised, it was reported on Wednesday.
Certain phrases on the webpage that described information about alleged corruption within the party were blacked out.
ANC spokesman Keith Khoza told News24 online that the changes to the webpage were not consistent with a civilised society.
"How does that assist any cause or anybody to tamper with information?" he asked.
"Interfering with information undermines the very need of [information providers]."
Oh the irony. At least we now know that a "civilised society" is one in which the government does all the censorship - not the public censoring the government.
