2026-09-12 06:25:15 +02:00 | Hendrik | No I do not | All of the above | I do not support teaching children about ridiculous ideologies when they do not even understand what an ideology is. |
2026-09-11 21:46:00 +02:00 | Phuti | No I do not | Undermining of parental rights and family values | It is also undermining religious/spiritual values. But it is to be expected from this government. That said, we will not take this lying down. |

2026-09-11 10:31:28 +02:00 | Vanessa | No I do not | Undermining of parental rights and family values | It disgusts me that this is even being considered - children are being manipulated and pushed into being 'different' when they have zero natural inclination for it, just so that a MINORITY can feel better about their choices. And many of these 'gender differences' are nothing more than mental illness or an attempt to create drama and draw attention to themselves. I am a live and let live type of person - if you want to identify as a chair, go for it - but don't push it on other people and shove it in our faces all of the time. ALL of this should stay right out of schools. |

2026-09-10 11:15:01 +02:00 | Sach | No I do not | All of the above | We, the citizens of South Africa, deserve to have our say, and refute this stupid ideology. The Department of Education must concentrate on educating our children properly in Maths and Literacy and having proper sanitation in schools! |

2026-09-09 16:38:17 +02:00 | Eloise | No I do not | All of the above | This is the woke agenda. Children this young, should only know they are a boy or a girl. There is no such thing as pronouns. As a Christian this concerns me. It opens the door for sexual abuse as well if toilets are non-gender. I have the right to educate my child according to my own values. |
2026-09-09 11:39:22 +02:00 | Zelna | No I do not | All of the above | Leave our kids alone. Note to ANC- get your own house in order!!! |
2026-09-08 18:28:00 +02:00 | Roark | No I do not | All of the above | I do not support any idea of brainwashing children to "experiment" or be exposed to non-conventional education allowing un-natural sexual orientation. |
2026-09-08 18:18:11 +02:00 | Charlotte | No I do not | All of the above | Undermining of parental rights and family and religious values |
2026-09-08 10:29:39 +02:00 | W | No I do not | All of the above | Leave our values as parents alone. It has absolutely nothing to do with the state and their ideologies. They just want to create more avenues to get to and brainwash our children while they are young to make them equally morally corrupt as these oppressors wanting to dictate this absolute rubbish. |
2026-09-08 08:30:39 +02:00 | Chantelle | No I do not | Undermining of parental rights and family values | Parents's duty NOT government |
2026-09-07 18:30:14 +02:00 | Paul | No I do not | Other | As a bisexual male I do not believe that there is something as transgender. You are male or female or hermaphrodite. You can be sexually attracted to anything you like - that is fine and be who you are - but that does not change your gender. |

2026-09-07 12:07:07 +02:00 | Jill | No I do not | All of the above | I strongly object to the rollout of the ECE Toolkit for children aged 0 to 9. Children at this foundational stage lack the developmental capacity to understand complex gender ideology; they should simply be allowed to be children without unnecessary ideological confusion. Furthermore, the DBE’s refusal to hold a public participation process is completely unacceptable. Education policies must respect parental rights and community values through open, transparent consultation. |
2026-09-07 11:58:21 +02:00 | Lucinda | No I do not | All of the above | covertly strip away parental rights and exclude the public from decisions that shape our children's minds. |

2026-09-07 10:48:26 +02:00 | Charles | No I do not | All of the above | I do not support the implementation of the ECE Toolkit in its current form. I believe the Department of Basic Education is overstepping its role by introducing sensitive and contested issues surrounding gender identity to very young children. Questions of gender, identity, morality and family values are deeply personal and can be shaped by cultural, religious and family beliefs. Parents should have a meaningful say in what their children are exposed to and taught, particularly at such a young age. South Africa is a diverse country, and not every family shares the same beliefs. We have already accepted that schools should not impose a particular religious worldview on children because families have different beliefs. The same principle should apply to other deeply personal and contested issues. I am also extremely concerned by the Department's apparent position that public participation is not required and that public input is not genuinely being considered. Parents are the primary guardians and educators of their children and should have a substantial voice in decisions affecting their upbringing. This is not about denying anyone dignity or protection from bullying. Every child should be treated with kindness and respect. It is about the limits of government authority. The Department should educate children, not attempt to replace parents in deciding what personal beliefs and values are appropriate for their children. I therefore call for genuine public consultation and meaningful parental involvement before this toolkit is implemented. This is unacceptable. |
2026-09-07 10:26:02 +02:00 | Pam | No I do not | All of the above | The overreach of Government is this matter is concerning. We do not need to follow the confusion infused in children by America and Europe following this ideology. The family structure is the God-structure and foundation for healthy society. Hands off Government!! |
2026-09-07 08:05:29 +02:00 | Enzo | No I do not | Undermining of parental rights and family values | Schools have no right to confuse our kids about gender identity |
