The show is transitioning to becoming Sara Gon Rogue. One of Sara’s changes is to concentrate on her role at the Free Speech Union of SA. Consequently Sara spoke to Michael Morris, Head of Media at the IRR and Editor of the Daily Friend about how fundamental the constitutional right to free speech is to other rights and to democracy itself.

Sara Gon is a Fellow of the SA Institute of Race Relations. She was an employee of the IRR for 10 years, in which time she helped develop the Daily Friend, latterly serving as its Contributing Editor. Her ‘hobby’ of writing letters to newspapers about South African politics landed her her role at the IRR. Prior to that, Gon was an attorney at Webber Wentzel, and was a co-founder and manager of the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Gon now manages the Free Speech Union of South Africa, and is engaged in other projects.
