In the last two days people from a few websites and blogs that are critical of the ANC led government have been arrested, three of which we know have been released with no charges made against them.
It is clear that the South African government is cracking down on bloggers that are critical of the way they run the country and they want to censor the information these bloggers and websites give out.
One of these is ZA Sucks, where the blogger Uhuru Guru was arrested, spent the night in jail and was released with no charges. No word if he got his computer equipment back that was confiscated. http://www.zasucks.com/
At another site Boerevryheid.co.za another two bloggers got arrested, their equipment taken and they were later released without charges, also no word if they got their equipment back. A lot of people claim that this is because South Africa wants the bad publicity to stop before the 2010 soccer world cup but instead of dealing with the crime directly they now try to scare these bloggers as some would say into shock.
Another blogger of Boer Freedom has been arrested, also this time no charges after spending some time in jail. Some claim this is because they blog about the "boer genocide" that is taking place in South Africa.

Whatever the reason, the government is kicking down doors and arresting people that are critical of them.
South African blogger arrested, what happened?
Many stories are going around after a blogger from a famous South African site SA Sucks got arrested. The blogger who goes by the name of "Uhuru Guru" got arrested yesterday as was reported in yesterday's news.
Speculation why he got arrested is because of the white farmers that get murdered, pictures were posted on the internet about these murder victims and the brutality they suffered.
Some of their heads are bashed in from the attacks where most times nothing is stolen. Many say that the South African government wants to censor the gruesome way in which white South Africans are murdered and want to keep the world from seeing what is currently happening in South Africa. They also think that this blogger's arrest is to stop the news of the current documented genocide.
Whether "Uhuru Guru" got arrested for real reasons or whether freedom of speech in South Africa is under attack is still to be seen because no word has come out on why the blogger got arrested and thrown in jail with no charges brought against him.
