2024-12-18 11:47:11 +02:00 | Monique | Yes I do | Unfair discrimination | I agree with this proposal as discrimination must be prohibited in all its forms. South Africa’s history has taught us the devastating consequences of dividing people based on race, yet we are now perpetuating the very injustices we sought to eliminate. Section 9(2) of the Constitution, as it is currently interpreted, creates a dangerous precedent where some individuals are deemed “more equal” than others, echoing the absurdity of Animal Farm. Instead of fostering unity and true equality, it has allowed for policies that mirror the racial biases of apartheid, just with different beneficiaries. True equality cannot be achieved by treating people differently based on race. Decisions must be made on merit, character, and circumstance—not blanket assumptions tied to skin color. By eliminating race-based policies, we can build a society that genuinely reflects the principle that every individual is equal before the law. It’s time to learn from our past and break this cycle of discrimination. Let’s ensure that South Africa's future is built on fairness, justice, and equality for all. |

2024-12-09 14:02:38 +02:00 | Amanda | Yes I do | Other | Any changes to the Constitution should be by referendum and non should be against a specific race, culture or group of people. No discrimination can be fair. Perhaps the focus shouldn't be on punishing those those whom achieve something or own property. No society can ever be uplifted by discrimination in their favour if there is no ambition to work hard, study, create businesses, build generational wealth. Politics doesn't have a heart or soul just a quest for power. If every individual understands their worth and actively contributes e.g. by paying their ESKOM bill, not throwing their rubbish down where they are , growing a home vegetable patch and irchard etc a drastic change will occur. |

2024-11-28 13:27:55 +02:00 | Dave | Yes I do | Unfair discrimination | Stop discriminating against people based on the skin colour. |
2024-11-28 07:01:34 +02:00 | Gordon | Yes I do | Unfair discrimination | Our present constitution entrenches racial discrimination despite claiming that it does not. It is time to disband all forms of so-called economic empowerment that serve only to discriminate against anybody not falling into a particular race group. Removing artificial restrictions is the only way the country can make use of all people's talents to enable growth. |
