**Important to note;**_ This is a legally protected public policy-shaping process
mandated in the SA Constitution. By using DearSA’s platform you ensure an accurate
record is held by civil society (so government cannot dispute participation facts
or figures) which forms a solid foundation for a legal case should the necessity
arise. It is not a petition. Your input is immediately sent __to government and 
must, by law, be individually acknowledged and considered. Had this been a petition,
all input would be grouped as a single submission._
