So called 'hate speech' is nothing more than CENSORSHIP. This Bill will be used to further shut down concerned citizens, PARTICULARLY the white variety.

It will be used by butthurt people to cause major problems for other people, have them sent to jail for daring to stand up for themselves.

The so-called 'president' is nothing more than a Soros puppet, and he needs to be stopped from signing this devastating piece of legislature.

Hate speech currently is a buzzword; that only applies to some people. How can "kill the Boer" not be hate speech?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary define "kill" as:

1a: to deprive of life: cause the death of

1b(1): to slaughter (an animal) for food

2a: to put an end to

2c: to mark for omission also: delete

2d: annihilate, destroy

3a: to destroy the vital or essential quality of

3b: to cause to stop

6a: to cause extreme pain to

6b: to tire almost to the point of collapse

7: to hit (a shot) so hard in various games that a return is impossible

NONE of these verbs sound positive at all! "Kill" as in "kill the Boer" is definitely a verb, and a verb is defined as: a word that ... expresses an act, occurrence, or state of being. Even children know a verb is a DOING word, which indicates ACTION.

So how can a word that's defined as a DOING word that indicates ACTION not be seen as an instruction to "deprive of life" of "the Boer", which is defined as: a South African of Dutch or Huguenot descent. This means that not only farmers, the people responsible for ensuring that South Africans have food to eat, but all Europeans are also at risk, as people insisting on using this phrase do not ask for the colour of your skin or DNA tests before they attack.

Dear Mr President, please get your house in order!

If your currently laws cannot find Kill the f**m**, as hate speech and the new one over steps so many boundaries, that South African won't even know theyre committing a crime, i think the Bill should go back to the drawing board.

You will leave a terrifying heritage behind if you sign this Bill.

Do not trust the government and its proxy’s to fairly and without prejudice execute these powers based on your actions over the last 30 years.

This Bill should be scrapped and be treated with the contempt it deserves. SA anc govt has signed and implemented 143+ race - based laws since 1994. We are tired of all these racist laws, when does it stop ? This country has had enough of racist rhetoric and divisive politics to last a lifetime. When will we have an opportunity for people to put their differences aside and start to heal from the injustices of the past , AND the present , and work together as a country ?

Rather start focusing on corruption as it would be much better for all South Africans.

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 cases of hate speech.
Overbroad: The Bill’s definition of “hate speech” is broader than the Constitution’s definition of hate speech, criminalising speech the Constitution sees as protected.
The Bill’s definition of “hate speech” is also broader than the Equality Act’s civil law definition of (civil) hate speech. This will make it easier to be found guilty of a criminal offence and sent to jail for up to five years than to be ordered to e.g. apologise under the Equality Act.
Vague and ambiguous: The Bill’s different elements for the crime of hate speech are either undefined (e.g. hate) or vague and/or ambiguous (e.g. social cohesion).
The Bill also contravenes the Constitution’s founding value of the rule of the law (section 1(c)), because it fails to define the essential element of “hate”. The result is that citizens are unable to know beforehand whether they are committing a crime or not.

The broad definition of hate speech
South Africa is a country where raping a woman is legal (due to almost zero law enforcement or prosecution). South Africa is a country where people can steal your car, empty your house, kill you for being white (among others). But if you dare to say "a certain word" then you go to jail, but only if you are white.

This regime needs to enforce law against actual criminals, not arrest and jail people for words they don't like. But the regime doesn't care about law and order, they only care about controlling people.

Oh, also, today "hate speech" is naughty words against certain tribes and against filthy degenerates (LGBTP springs to mind). Tomorrow it will be about stopping Christians from preaching the Bible. This terrorist regime already banned Pastors from entering the country.

I will say what I like and to Hell with the ANC reprobates.

Communist ideology that seeks to control free speech. RSA is a democratic country that doesn't need communist control through government over reach.

Constitutionality of the Bill
Hate Speach is already well established in our laws. Preventing hate speech is a balance against freedom of speach which is one of the most critical elements required for democracy to work.

Many citizens do not approve of the current governments narratives and actions.

Many of our political parties in office have proved themselves to be race obsessed and intent on micro Managing every element of citizens lives.

Putting the power of determining what is hate speech in the hands of politicians will destroy our democracy.

Introduced in Parliament in 2018, the Bill marks a significant step towards the protection of all people in South Africa against hate crimes and hate speech, particularly those based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or any other form of discrimination.In Section 4 of the Bill, hate speech is defined as the intentional publishing or communicating of anything that can incite harm or promote hate based on grounds, including, among others, age, sexual orientation and race.

The Bill also provides for penalties such as fines, imprisonment, or both for those who are convicted of the offences.
