In 2019, it was reported that the Republic of South Africa had admitted that it been performing mass surveillance on Internet traffic by intercepting signals on submarine cables since 2008.[1] The information emerged from a government affidavit in a legal case filed by the civil rights group amaBhungane that had challenged the Regulation of Interception of Communications Act of 2002 and the National Security Act of 1994.[2][3]
