2026-06-03 13:57:39 +02:00 | Howard | No I do not | All of the above | Redundancy: The Bill of Rights is Sufficient | Section 235 is a “non-derogable right” and a cornerstone of the 1994 constitutional settlement. The individual rights (Sections 30 and 31) are fundamentally different from the collective right of a community to sustain and govern itself. Removing this “safety valve” will not eliminate the demand for self-determination but will instead push it toward more radical, extra-constitutional paths. |
2026-06-03 11:03:22 +02:00 | peter | No I do not | Enclave Risks: Preventing 'Racist Enclaves' | No I do not agree that anyone has the right to alter any of the clauses within the Constitution. All the parties who signed the said Constitution on behalf of all the Citizens of South Africa had ample time to review the drafts. When they signed said Constitution into law it was and is bidding on all the Citizens then and now and into the future. Why do the parties not concentrate on governing rather than spending their time on promulgating unnecessary new laws which they are not policing and enforcing said laws? The citizens are hungry for parliament to govern and stop promising jobs which are not forth coming, because all they are interested in are themselves. So please leave the said Constitution as it was signed into law and to govern all the citizens equally and fairly . | |

2026-06-02 13:29:24 +02:00 | Leon | No I do not | All of the above | Breach of Trust: The 1994 Negotiated Settlement | It is obviously a sign of power seeking and mass voting power and has nothing to do with democracy. Study the history of the various black races.. The tribal ruler thinks and speaks for his tribe,and the tribe may feel it is not a good decision but the leader has spoken and we will concurr; If this becomes policy south Africa is lost,, a direction they have already taken, judging by the bleak economic expectations caused by wrong government policy as we sea it now.My heart bleds for the jobless who stand begging every day,again caused by wrong econmic and other policies followed by the present govenment and their cronies.It is the first time in history that the RSA is in dire strates. |

2026-05-28 13:00:43 +02:00 | Claude | No I do not | Other | Until they become honest and go back to the real history, no matter what they want and try to achieve history will keep on repeating itself, what they are trying to achieve is a way to steal whit the law on their side, land has been bought and paid for and has been upgraded at costs, it is immoral and wrong to just take without compensation, all land needs to be compensated for as there is no more land that was taken for free anymore, | |

2026-05-27 17:52:53 +02:00 | Claudette | No I do not | Breach of Trust: The 1994 Negotiated Settlement | I reject this racist policy because it infringes on the rights of individuals, families and communities. Everyone has the right to self - determination as stated in our constitution and agreed upon duri g the 1994 negotiations with the abolishing of apartheid. The contents of this policy is extremely dangerous and should be rejected with contempt it deserves. |

- Supporters, led by the MK Party, argue that Section 235 is a “dormant” provision that has never been turned into law. They believe it creates a “theoretical basis” for “territorial fragmentation” and allows communities like Orania to operate as “exclusionist enclaves” outside the spirit of a unified South Africa. For them, the Bill of Rights is the only protection needed for cultural and linguistic diversity.

- Opponents, including the Cape Independence Party and the Freedom Front Plus, argue that Section 235 is a “non-derogable right” and a cornerstone of the 1994 constitutional settlement. They contend that individual rights (Sections 30 and 31) are fundamentally different from the collective right of a community to sustain and govern itself. They warn that removing this “safety valve” will not eliminate the demand for self-determination but will instead push it toward more radical, extra-constitutional paths.
