2026-09-22 10:23:14 +02:00 | Desireé | No I do not | All of the above | The DBE has no right to force harmful viewpoints that encroach a parent's right to educate a child according to their religious beliefs that aligns with God's created order. It is clear that this is unconstitutional - especially as they try to dodge any public participation involvement in this regard. |
2026-09-21 20:17:53 +02:00 | Brigitte | No I do not | All of the above | The children are too small to learn about sex until they ask questions to their parents. It’s not the school’s job. ESPECIALLY THE Transgender so called « Education’ » . It is ridiculous at that age to make them think they might be born with the wrong sex. Awful to put doubts in their young minds about who they are. You have LOST COMMON SENSE. |

2026-09-20 11:07:54 +02:00 | Salma | No I do not | All of the above | We're a supposed democracy!! I cannot express my fury at this nonsensical toolkit!! Our beautiful, innocent children are our nation's treasures!! Mould their hearts and minds with love and tolerance... Not by trying to emulate 1st world heathens. I'm appalled. |
2026-09-20 08:53:16 +02:00 | Olivia | No I do not | All of the above | No government has the right to impose their ideologies on any citizen . Gender and sexuality , forcing this into our schools, on teachers and students is unacceptable. Each parent is responsible for their own child and the fact that the DBE wants to push an agenda that is not healthy for any child directly contradicts the welfare of the child. Children of that age are too young to learn about these matters. |

2026-09-19 07:02:03 +02:00 | LETTIE | No I do not | Undermining of parental rights and family values | God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. children do not need to tell them who and what they are, boy or girl or both. They know they are. |
2026-09-19 06:50:11 +02:00 | Mogau | No I do not | All of the above | Its not going to contribute anything towards their future and against the family values. DBE will be overstepping |
2026-09-18 18:52:28 +02:00 | PERCIVAL | No I do not | All of the above | They are just lieing and confusing children to make the future people of this country weak little robots. |
2026-09-18 16:19:23 +02:00 | Amanda | No I do not | All of the above | Simply utterly confusing for children. I have empathy for those few who genuinely struggle with gender identity but to promote this kind of confusion in education is completely unacceptable. Our children have enough to deal with in this world that we adults are currently leaving to them. Time to return to sanity. |

2026-09-18 14:35:10 +02:00 | Warrick | No I do not | All of the above | This is a toxic Ideology that has created nothing but issues wherever in the world it has been implemented. It is an agenda being pushed by few in the west and has no place in schools where children are being sent to learn values that are meant to help them succeed in life. Secondly. The idea that this did not require public participation when its the public paying for their kids to go to these schools, is just another warped sense of entitlement that the people pushing these ideas seem to feel their overreached arm of power is capable of. |
2026-09-18 11:35:00 +02:00 | Thandi Ncube | No I do not | All of the above | Truly we dont have a Gov in SA, we are being dictated by the Deep State. All of these evil is from Davon (Clive Schawb and Bill Gate) dectates. Sudue and Rule. God will not let His people be subjugated to evil intent of just a few. Rome was brought down, so is the deep state will follow suit |

2026-09-18 11:07:10 +02:00 | DALENE | No I do not | Undermining of parental rights and family values | This is unacceptable. |
2026-09-18 09:30:43 +02:00 | Maryse | No I do not | Undermining of religious/spiritual values | Just because some people believe in an idea does not make it real. Biologically there are only 2 genders, no matter how a person may change their name or appearance a male can never fulfill the biological role of a female which is to give birth, experience menstruation or breastfeed. Why in the world would anyone bring children to such confusion and deception unless they have a deep hidden agenda. If they can prove scientific scientifically/biologically a naturally born male can hold a baby in a natural uteras, deliver a baby through a birth canal and breastfeed then by all means go ahead. |

2026-09-17 20:14:16 +02:00 | Hester | No I do not | All of the above | I do not support this at all. The whole issue is not based on scientific facts. To indoctrinate young children in this kind of nonsense is completely unacceptable. I have empathy with people who are unsure of their gender. But to expect others to be forced to comply with your issues is rediculous |
2026-09-17 17:20:50 +02:00 | Sharon | No I do not | All of the above | WEF Agenda 2030 is being pushed to the nth degree, not just in SA, but internationally and especially in the West or west-aligned countries. The plan is to utterly destroy the West. We need to stand up, take a very real anti this garbage stance, but here. The Bible clearly says this would happen and now we live it - May Almighty God have mercy. HIS kingdom come upon Jesus' Christ's return. Hallelujah! |
2026-09-17 13:10:13 +02:00 | Shaun | No I do not | All of the above | This seems highly concerning! 1) As government organisation the views of the public are vital. 2) Dept of education cannot take away and undermine the parent's role and religions role in the upbringing of children. |

2026-09-14 23:35:12 +02:00 | Bettina | No I do not | Undermining of religious/spiritual values | I think this is woke rubbish that has no place in the school environment. This is insidious over reach by a government that has no respect for family and morality. |
2026-09-14 13:00:09 +02:00 | Gerhard | No I do not | Undermining of parental rights and family values | I do not support the implementation of the ECE Toolkit without meaningful public participation and consultation. Parents are the primary caregivers and play a fundamental role in shaping the values, beliefs, and worldviews of their children. Any educational programme that addresses matters relating to gender, identity, values, or social development should be subject to transparent public consultation, particularly where it may affect children in their formative years. My primary concern is not whether individuals hold different views on these issues, but rather that parents, teachers, faith communities, child-development specialists, and the broader public should be given an opportunity to review and comment on programmes that may influence educational content and classroom practices. I believe that educational policy affecting children aged 0 to 9 years should be developed through an open and transparent process that considers diverse perspectives and respects the rights and responsibilities of parents. Public trust in the education system is strengthened when stakeholders are properly consulted and their views are genuinely considered. I therefore request that the Department of Basic Education pause any further rollout of the ECE Toolkit until a comprehensive public participation process has been conducted and the content has been openly reviewed by parents, educators, child-development experts, and community stakeholders. Decisions affecting young children should be made transparently, with meaningful public input and full accountability. |

2026-09-14 08:01:23 +02:00 | Stephen | No I do not | All of the above | These things should be left to families and not state institutions |
2026-09-14 07:32:09 +02:00 | Robert | No I do not | Other | It's unbiblical and enforcing this will infringe on Christian rights. |

2026-09-13 22:13:07 +02:00 | Florina | No I do not | All of the above | I strongly object to any programme dealing with sensitive issues of gender or identity being introduced to young children without full disclosure, meaningful consultation and the informed involvement of their parents. Parents know their children best. They understand their children's age, maturity, emotional development, family circumstances and individual needs. Schools are entrusted to educate children—they should not replace parents in making deeply personal decisions about a child's values, identity or upbringing. Parents should never have to discover after the fact what is being taught to their children. If the programme is genuinely in the best interests of children, why should parents be excluded from seeing the material, asking questions and having their concerns considered? The DBE must respect parents as partners in education, not treat them as outsiders. Our children are entrusted to schools for education, not for government to make sensitive decisions on their behalf without parental knowledge or consent. We demand transparency, meaningful public participation and a clear recognition of parents' fundamental role and responsibility in raising and guiding their children. Before any such programme is implemented, parents must be given access to the full content and a genuine opportunity to scrutinise, question and comment on it. There must be no secrecy when it comes to what is being taught to our children. Parental rights are not optional, and parents' voices must not be dismissed. |
