The release of US diplomatic cables through website WikiLeaks does not pose a threat to SA, a government spokesman said on Thursday.
“Our assessment of the content thereof does not point to any national security threat and we will continue to monitor developments going forward,” said government spokesman Themba Maseko in reply to questions on the controversy.
Maseko said government had noted the ongoing issue around WikiLeaks and considered it a matter of US foreign policy for which SA had no authority to take action.
“The SA government has not and will not block access to the site,” he said. — Sapa
