Offence is only ever taken, never given. This is beyond ridiculous. If adults are not mature enough to deal with their emotions what South African's need is not legislation but parents and an educational system that fosters resilience instead of victimhood Olympics.
Furthermore, it is been proven repeatedly that the court system is biased where prominent people that are guilty of ubiquitous hate speech and incitement to violence are not held accountable.

Sentencing determined by the accuser's emotional state. Police recording political, religious, and social affiliations. Criminal liability for forwarding content.

Each provision extends enforcement beyond conduct and into beliefs, associations, or speech.

Taken together, they shift the law from punishing what people do to what they think, share, and believe.

That is not a hate speech law. That is the architecture of a surveillance state - one that can be aimed at anyone a ruling party decides to call a threat.

Laws this asymmetric don't protect the vulnerable. They arm whoever holds the charge sheet.

Laws should be blind to ideology and anchored in conduct. These provisions move in the opposite direction.

This is communism and racism in one package.

People should have a right to say what they want to freely and people should be allowed to reject or debunk what people say freely. Accountability is never to the state but to God… who judges all the ways of men.
