Parliament has passed the Protection of State Information Bill by 189 votes to 74 with one abstention.
And now the controversial draft law will be sent to President Jacob Zuma to sign it into law. The Democratic Alliance (DA) says opposition parties have more options available to them in their fight against the Protection of State Information Bill.
The bill, which was finally adopted by the National Assembly late Thursday afternoon, will now be sent to President Jacob Zuma to be signed into law.
