In Conversation With Micheal Beaumont- National Chairperson (ActionSA)

Loading player...
ActionSA has begun preparing legal action to challenge the decision by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) to classify the Phala Phala investigation report as “Top Secret.” The report involves conduct by members of the Presidential Protection Unit linked to the Phala Phala farm scandal — a politically charged matter that has been the subject of public controversy and parliamentary scrutiny for years.

ActionSA National Chairperson Michael Beaumont says the party’s appeal against the classification was ignored by IPID, prompting preparations for court papers. ActionSA plans to challenge not just the classification itself, but also the constitutionality of the Cabinet’s Minimum Information Security Standards (MISS) policy, which grants broad powers to officials to classify documents as top secret.
