2026-02-14 11:54:53 +02:00 | LLOYD | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-02-14 10:58:13 +02:00 | Aneesa | No I do not | All of the above | Stop wasting valuable resources on this. Utilize state funds to help the people and not line your pockets!! |
2026-02-14 10:56:36 +02:00 | Nash | No I do not | All of the above | This looks like a control mechanism where people lose their freedom |
2026-02-14 09:52:17 +02:00 | Clinton | No I do not | All of the above | My Privacy is my God given right and no government corrupt or otherwise has the right to interfere in the privacy of state nationals |
2026-02-14 09:46:54 +02:00 | Niki | No I do not | Other | Once again this will just open up the door for even more bribes and corruption. |
2026-02-14 09:34:46 +02:00 | Devlin | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-02-14 07:54:11 +02:00 | Vusi nicholus | Yes I do | State Surveillance in the form of Lifestyle Audits | |
2026-02-14 07:45:25 +02:00 | Pierre | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-02-14 06:34:17 +02:00 | Justin | No I do not | All of the above | I do not agree with this lifestyle audit and all of the above. Stop trying to get into our personal lives. We pay enough taxes in this country to the government. How do you expect us to live? |
2026-02-14 05:53:54 +02:00 | Karin | No I do not | All of the above | This will implicate SARS with undated Audits some not relevant with no real evidence, due to jealousy and greed, personally or in the business sector. The truth always comes out and will be exposed when people aren't honest about there taxes and lifestyles. As it is SARS already has access to all Bank Accounts and declarations. Most people don't utilise cash as it has to many risks. Investigating cash that doesn't get declared would be essential. |
2026-02-14 05:48:19 +02:00 | Annette | Not fully | All of the above | I do believe that people who steal should be brought to justice, but this bill seems to seek too many sweeping powers. Any person doing business with the State, and all politicians above a certain level, as well as all people in government positions of power should be audited. |
2026-02-14 04:59:31 +02:00 | Pricilla | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-02-14 03:29:03 +02:00 | Johan | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-02-14 00:00:23 +02:00 | Marianne | No I do not | All of the above | Sadly this smacks of socialism and communism in the making. Where the poor get poorer, and the people running the country get richer. General human rights are being violated - democracy flying out the window. What happened to making South Africa a better country for ALL its citizens??? |
2026-02-13 23:29:11 +02:00 | Marx-Lenin | No I do not | All of the above | This is government tyranny on hard working citizens earnings. This should not be infringed and will propose the elimination of income tax. |
2026-02-13 22:28:10 +02:00 | Nicole | No I do not | All of the above | No, no, no. If you want to audit the man on the street then the politicians need to set the example and be audited as well, they cannot be excluded. What is the point of this anyway, to put South Africa under more pressure to turn against the government even more? |
2026-02-13 21:01:31 +02:00 | Gideon | Not fully | State Surveillance in the form of Lifestyle Audits | Members of the general public do not need lifestyle audits unless the police have information that they are criminally involved. Other people that need lifestyle audits are those in Government Service or in political positions, e.g. ministers etc. |
2026-02-13 20:50:37 +02:00 | Fred | No I do not | All of the above | This is a further proof of a Communist / Socialist State in process of emerging!!! The proposed amendment, while it may meet the requirements of INTRUSIVE and OPPRESSIVE “external interests”, would not be / have been necessary IF the State had EXECUTED its FIDUCIARY DUTIES in the first place. Our current government of the past 32 years Has SEVERELY FAILED In This Regard, having itself become A Safe Haven for CORRUPT and SYNDICATED OFFICIALS. It has turned our beautiful country into a ‘MAFIOSO-LIKE’ FAILING STATE, with the Presidency, the Cabinet, Parliament and the Public Service being driven by Coercive “External Interests” and the Temptations of STATUS, MONEY and POWER for SELF-ENRICHMENT!!! All to the detriment of the broader population. If anything, life-style audits are already overdue for all State entities mentioned above. If need be, start there. This level of Over-Reaching Surveillance and Deprivation of our Constitutionally framed Rights to Privacy is unacceptable!!! This Bill MUST BE OVERTURNED. |
2026-02-13 20:40:59 +02:00 | Willie and Annetjie | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-02-13 19:05:21 +02:00 | Jolene | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-02-13 18:26:36 +02:00 | Andy | No I do not | All of the above | Okay this is just another Bill to extent the reach of government as long as we have a corrupt government in power any bill will be abused. SARS at this point is just another player dancing to the tune of the president. There is one law for thee and another for us. This law has been around for years not a single lifestyle audit has been done just listing to the news, billions being looted and SARS quite why? No life style audits there, but when we as citizens earn 1 cent too many we need to pay up. SARS just get the Trillions looted back, then we are looking at different picture. Then even I might change my view point. |

2026-02-13 17:11:12 +02:00 | Roland | No I do not | All of the above | Real crimes need to be investigated, but trawling for possible transgressors and destroying people's lives because of bureaucratic systems applies is error (as will assuredly happen if this law is passed), it unacceptable. |
2026-02-13 16:51:23 +02:00 | Roeleen | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-02-13 16:51:22 +02:00 | Roeleen | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-02-13 16:13:53 +02:00 | Mark | No I do not | All of the above | There are already laws in place to trace tax evaders and criminals. SARS already has the mandate to investigate anyone. This is just an excuse to interfere with the freedom of citizens again. Start investigating at the top with the ministers then the police then the municipal management. |
2026-02-13 15:08:48 +02:00 | Margot | No I do not | All of the above | This is once again an over reach by government. Instead of creating a free market system where the economy can grow, a preferred clamp down of individual privacy is preferred. |
2026-02-13 15:01:20 +02:00 | Suren | No I do not | All of the above | Ludicrous to police the people that fill the state coffers. |
