2026-02-11 14:40:16 +02:00 | Marina | No I do not | All of the above | we have seen in the last few years that only a minority race is punished while a majority of convicted goes for council and sensitivity training. I believe this law is just another law to only punish a minority race irrelevant of charges while others Kan still freely sing killing songs, make statements of hate and nothing ever gets done. |
2026-02-11 12:46:37 +02:00 | Leanne | No I do not | Subjective Sentencing – The requirement for a Victim Impact Statement | This area is too 'grey' and can create further exploitation by how subjective it is. |

2026-02-10 12:06:07 +02:00 | Stella | No I do not | All of the above | The Hate Speech is a trap to target innocent people and force them into thinking the same as the government's ideologies, failing which they can be turned into a criminal and will be made an example for others. Free speech should rule and people should be allowed to have their own opinion without being victimised - this is state overeach disguised for the common good, so that they can control people further. |
2026-02-10 10:30:31 +02:00 | Amanda | No I do not | All of the above | Communism. Overreach. Platform will be used for malicious intent. Platform for curropt officials to play their own hand |

2026-02-08 15:10:20 +02:00 | Tracy-Leigh | No I do not | All of the above | This is communism, not democracy! Subjective sentencing will breed corruption. |
2026-02-08 12:14:12 +02:00 | Herman | No I do not | All of the above | Another example of ANC (government) overreach in hiding its corruption; destruction of infrastructure, SOE's, and the selective abuse of human rights being exposed |
2026-02-08 12:12:29 +02:00 | Heidi | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-02-08 08:25:12 +02:00 | Werner | No I do not | All of the above | How can you arrest someone on the based on how someone feels? The police can't even properly investigate crime how do you expect them to investigate cyber crime. Here at Polokwane station I had to take my own statement. The officer couldn't even do that. Most police don't have digital phones in South Africa |

2026-02-07 09:48:20 +02:00 | John | No I do not | All of the above | This law will only facilitate the incitement of hate crimes as it provides the platform for malitious use that will insight an even greater divide between people. |

2026-02-06 16:32:20 +02:00 | Alexandra | No I do not | Subjective Sentencing – The requirement for a Victim Impact Statement | A Victim Impact Statement allows the victim to have an influence on the severity of the court outcome and hence manipulative powers that should not be given to any person involved in a trial. |

2026-02-06 11:22:00 +02:00 | Ana | Not fully | All of the above | Hate Speech needs to be treated as any other crime where there is a court ruling after evidence and proper investigation has taken place. It cannot be "victim- based" as this is subjective and opens the door to third parties to influence and incite accusations for personal or social reasons. In terms of the Database proposed - will there also be a database for fraudsters, extortionists, corrupt delegates and liars??? |
2026-02-06 11:08:22 +02:00 | Tarryn | No I do not | Bureaucratic Capacity | If govt actually did their job, there would not be hate crimes. Hate crimes happen out of fear and desperation |

2026-02-05 16:15:02 +02:00 | Brett | No I do not | All of the above | This is simply a perpetuation of victim mentality, and this kind of vague and ambiguous system is so open for abuse that it beggars belief that lawmakers could even consider it. In fact, the fact that it is being considered forces me to abandon all hope in the policy makers that had a hand in this! |
