2025-01-13 07:56:44 +02:00 | Wesley | No I do not | The Bill is unnecessary | The government as a whole which includes all political parties that are involved, wants to control the people. They want to make sure that no one says anything bad about the government on all platforms which includes social media. They also don't want the true church of God(Jesus Christ) to preach the truth. They want to side with terrorists such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Abbas, ISIS, Putin and the Russian government as well as the LGBTQA++ instead of aligning itself with Israel as the word of God says and doing what's right according to the Word of God(Holy Bible) not the Koran or any other religion or man made god. They ultimately want to silence the Christians from speaking the truth and about Jesus Christ, the only ans true God. They call it hate speech but the fact of the matter is they hate the truth. | No I do not |

2025-01-10 08:46:38 +02:00 | Marina | Yes I do | All of the above | ALL OF THE ABOVE - hate speech is unneccessary | Yes I do |
2025-01-09 09:59:19 +02:00 | Gail Williams | No I do not | The Bill is unnecessary | This bill is part of the "woke" society. It should not escape your notice how most countries are refuting the "woke" culture. Empowering 'Woke" culture therefore can be assumed to be a sure way to have both your party and your culture cancelled. | Yes I do |
2025-01-09 02:07:43 +02:00 | Carl | No I do not | All of the above | In a time when Freedom of Thought, Expression and Speech is under attack, and where citizens of nations such as the United Kingdom are being imprisoned for arbitrary and capricious reasons associated with so-called "offensive" speech, South Africa can ill-afford to follow such examples. Speech or expressions that are wrong can only be exposed and defeated by better speech. Restricting speech in an irrational, unnecessary or arbitrary manner returns our nation to the injustice and oppression so indicative of the former political hegemony under which South Africans suffered. | Yes I do |
2025-01-08 19:35:59 +02:00 | Johannes | No I do not | The Bill is unnecessary | Hate must have murder as motive. Let Everly language/race entity have their own territory and rules their own interpretation of hate and or get off with killing White people. | No I do not |

2024-11-26 14:02:07 +02:00 | Elma | No I do not | All of the above | Free speech is a constitutional right. If this bill becomes law, where will it end? No one will be safe- it's worse than communism. Total control. NO!!! We are the tax payers, sand we want freedom to express ALL our opinions. | No I do not |

2024-10-03 11:15:45 +02:00 | Marius | No I do not | All of the above | Dear Mr President, I would remind you Mr. President that incitement to violence is already on the books and limits what people are allowed to say under free speech laws. Analogically, when all people are rich, nobody is rich because the metric for measuring wealth becomes ineffective under such a condition. Similarly, when unpopular or offensive speech is considered violent, it follows logically that true violence is no longer violent, and true violence can no longer be meaningfully measured when everything offensive is viewed as violent. This bill will be used to create lawfare against people who hold unpopular opinions that they are still entitled to as free individuals, by criminalizing views that people held historically and still hold today, simply because someone subjectively views it as offensive. Imagine the effect of casting off traditions and views held for generations in service of progress... when it is our traditions that give us our very identity. These things are not to be taken lightly. Lastly, our politics are under pressure to be reformed for the better of all citizens. Signing this bill will undoubtedly create further division in a country that needs more unification. Please do not sign this bill. Sincerely, A Concerned Citizen | No I do not |

2024-09-12 12:45:18 +02:00 | Lyle | No I do not | All of the above | imagine living in a world where you are ostracized for having a difference in opinion or a different view. Oh, wait. That already happens in the media. Now you want to jail people !!! | Yes I do |
2024-07-17 13:35:36 +02:00 | rynhard | No I do not | All of the above | I am writing to appeal to Your Excellency to send the Bill back to the National Assembly for reconsideration, because of the constitutional concerns below. CONSTITUTIONAL CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL’S DEFINITION OF HATE SPEECH: The Bill contravenes section 36 of the Constitution, because it is: Unnecessary as existing laws have already been successfully implemented in various criminal and civil case | No I do not |

2024-04-16 18:16:18 +02:00 | Regina | No I do not | All of the above | The bill is vague, unnecessary and leaves the door wide open for ideologies to be pushed down on innocent good peace loving citizens. Its application will cause harm not good. The bill should be reconsidered and allow for freedom of religion and freedom of speech which has been the foundation of a great nation for a long time. | Yes I do |

2024-03-19 14:48:32 +02:00 | Marta | No I do not | Constitutionality of the Bill | This Bill threatens citizens' right to free speech. It is a tool to stop people from saying what they think. It can be used by government officials to stop people saying anything negative about them, by threatening to send those people to jail. This Bill is so wrong, it is a doorway into a downwards spiral of many bad possibilities. The people must have the right to complain about government, as government officials are public servants and have to listen to their public, regardless if they like what those people have to say. | Yes I do |
