2026-01-22 20:22:15 +02:00 | Roan | No I do not | Weaponising laws | Another law allowed to pass through this goverment. This Goverment is destroying the country and they should be held accountable for all their crimes against humanity. The Goverment talks about freedom, yet they themselves are the oppressor. They can't even keep their promises to their people, and they never have. This current rulling party is a disgrace to the beautiful land of South Africa. Most of the people in this country want to stand together, but this Goverment keeps on sowing hatred and lies among the people. |
2026-01-22 19:40:53 +02:00 | Jan | No I do not | Weaponising laws | I do not think our Parliament should create an opportunity to debate the concept of Apartheid. If it is an Act of Parliament, it can always create an opportunity for a right-wing group to make mischief. We should forget about the period of apartheid. We should also not create a concept that can be applied to other countries because it can cause excessive harm to them. It can also bring about new definitions of apartheid. I believe we must forget about a disgusting period in our history. The authors of the concept are long dead. If we retain the concept, it will give politicians unnecessary ammunition for debate. |

Summary of Opposing Views
Supporters (Al Jama-ah, ANC, EFF, PAC, GOOD):
Argue the Bill is a moral necessity to close the “impunity gap” and align South African law with its international commitments (ICJ case, UN Convention).
Opponents (DA, FF+, Jewish Board of Deputies):
Likely to argue the Bill is constitutionally vague, practically unenforceable, and a waste of parliamentary resources intended solely to antagonise Israel.
