## The Adhoc Standing Committee on Covid-19 (WCPP) invites the public to share their experiences and thoughts on COVID-19 including government’s response.

The Committee wants to know about how you have been impacted by the lockdown, what
you think about the regulations, if you have been able to access services, your 
attitude to wearing masks and government’s response to the pandemic (local, provincial
and national government).

In addition, the Committee is interested in hearing from you if you or a family 
member was exposed to coronoavirus, was tested for coronavirus and had to self-isolate.

NOTE; your personal details will not be shared with any third party.

### **21887 **participants.

_Although the official comment period is closed, we will still collect your comment
to include in our report._

### ENABLING YOU TO SHAPE GOVERNMENT POLICY

Dear South Africa is a legally recognised and constitutionally protected non-profit
platform which enables the public to co-shape all government policies, amendments
and proposals. We’ve run many successful campaigns and have amassed a considerably
large active participant network of over 750,000 individuals across the country 
and beyond.

**We do not run petitions.** We run legally recognised public participation processes
which allow citizens to co-form policy at all levels of governance. Whereas petitions,
even if they contain thousands of signatures, are considered as a single submission
by government, our process ensures that each comment made through dearsouthafrica.
co.za is recognised and counted as an individual submission by government.

Furthermore, we keep an accurate record of all participation and produce a publicly
available report at the end of each project. This report forms the foundation of
a sound legal case should the necessity to challenge the decision arise.

Participation costs you NOTHING, and is so easy and quick to do through the platform
that you really have no excuse not to help shape policy BEFORE it becomes law. Legally
challenging implemented law is costly and rarely successful. Prevention is better
than cure.

Participation in decision-making processes means a possibility for citizens, civil
society organisations and other interested parties to influence the development 
of policies and laws which affect them. We’ve made it easy for you as a responsible
citizen of South Africa, to influence government decisions before they are made.
