Constitutional issues
This bill is in direct opposition to the fundamental basis of the constitution. South Africa belongs to all who live in it. Every citizen is entitled to worship as they please. No one has the right to tell anyone who or what to think and believe. Clergy are free to raise issues of concern and to support a variety of other religions .

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.
