In today's show, we heard from Adi Eyal - Founding member of Open Data and Democracy Initiative and
Murray Hunter - national coordinator of the Right2Know Campaign. The Open Data and Democracy Initiative or ODADI is said to be an
open, non-partisan community of citizens, activists, technologists,
journalists, and entrepreneurs dedicated to developing and applying practical
open technologies and promoting open data as a means to efficient governance,
increased transparency, improved service delivery and the empowerment of South
African citizens. It was launched in June this year but does not align itself
with any political party or other political interest group. The initiative is
led by a volunteer working group representing fifteen different civil society,
media, and technology organisations in the Western Cape , with active participation
from government. For further information you can contact ODADI on (021) 423
