R2K Western Cape is pleased to invite you to a panel discussion on "Surveillance ad the City", looking at intelligence-led policing and data-collection in the City of Cape Town. This is set to take place on Wednesday 8 March 2017 at the Cape Town Society for the Blind in Salt River.

PANEL DISCUSSION: Surveillance and the City
Data collection, intelligence-led policing & surveillance in Cape Town
9am-12pm, Wednesday 8 March 2017

​The key questions: ​
Who is protected by these systems? Who is targeted? What data is collected and how is it used? What does the landscape of privacy and surveillance in the City of Cape Town tell us about the society we live in and the future we are building?

Speaker:
* Dr Dale McKinley, author of "New Terrains of Privacy in South Africa"
​, a new research monograph​

Discussants:
* Karabo Rajuili, advocacy coordinator of amaBhungane Centre for Investigative Journalism: input on communication surveillance, phone-tapping
* Alex Hotz: input on video collection and CCTV systems in policing social order
* Professor Jane Duncan, Media Policy & Democracy Project: input on City's data-collection systems

The discussion will be accompanied by the launch of "New Terrains of Privacy in South Africa", a research monograph prepared for the Right2Know Campaign and the Media Policy and Democracy Project. (Download the monograph at r2k.org.za/privacy-monograph).

​We believe these issues cut to the heart of emerging challenges to human rights and the quality of democracy in South Africa.​
