2026-08-19 10:43:09 +02:00 | Sheree | Not fully | The broad definition of hate speech | Further having such a broad and ambiguous bill can be more harmful to a country that has not dealt with the trauma of the past nor have the citizens learnt to deal with conflict in non hateful manners, therefore this will eventually spiral to the point that is is just another piece of paper which cannot be implemented or managed as the judicial system which will need to deal with this is faltering and failing. | Yes I do |

2026-08-13 09:36:59 +02:00 | Jakobus P H | No I do not | The Bill is unnecessary | This seems to be another suppression of free speech which impacts all other freedoms. As there is already laws and hate speech is addressed in the constitution this is just another unnecessary law that will be badly administered or used as a cudgel against whomever the government wants to shut up. | Yes I do |

2026-03-18 08:36:03 +02:00 | LAWRENCE | No I do not | All of the above | Kindly refer this bill back to Parliament for reconsideration. The bill is unconstitutional, vague in scope, and unnecessary, as there is already sufficient legislation to deal with this subject. This is actually an attack on the principle of Free Speech. | Yes I do |

2026-03-17 15:06:09 +02:00 | john | No I do not | All of the above | Hate speech is nothing more than a thought control tool. It attacks free speech. We cannot be controlled like this. The next step is full blown communism. Peoples feelings do not control us. If someone is offended, let them grow up, and grow a pair. Ramaphosa and his handlers need to de reined in before we end up like the UK, where one will be jailed for a mean tweet. [FOUR THOUSAND JAILED IN 2025!!] | No I do not |

2026-03-17 08:47:16 +02:00 | Richard | No I do not | All of the above | Hate speech is the biggest curse in South Africa and everybody that thinks they can say and act as they feel toward others should face the might of the law and that goes for politicians and the general public! | No I do not |

2026-02-01 16:50:56 +02:00 | Nelmarie | No I do not | All of the above | 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! | Yes I do |
2026-01-11 16:35:58 +02:00 | Claudette | No I do not | All of the above | 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 ? | Yes I do |

2025-12-01 11:40:15 +02:00 | Henriëtta | No I do not | All of the above | 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. | No I do not |
