According to our constitution we have freedom of religion.
According to my belief the only One that can regulate religion is God himself.

CRL violates the very constitution it represents. It is used to promote the agenda of wickedness. However it's not only CRL but the whole administration needs to be uprooted.

State control over religion poses a serious threat to constitutional freedoms, especially the right to freedom of religion, conscience, and belief. When the state begins to license or regulate faith, it risks overstepping into a space that should remain free from governmental control. Existing laws are already sufficient to address wrongdoing, whether it occurs in a church, business, or government setting. If a religious leader commits fraud or theft, they should be prosecuted under the same legal system as anyone else. Equality before the law already ensures accountability without creating special religious regulations. Adding oversight specifically for faith communities creates unnecessary bureaucracy and opens the door to potential abuse and restriction of legitimate religious expression.
Each person also has the fundamental right to believe and practise according to their conscience. If a regulatory body is given authority over faith, it may begin to impose its own interpretations or values, limiting religious diversity and pressuring communities to conform. For example, South Africa’s law recognises same-sex marriage, while the Constitution also protects religious freedom. Many Christian denominations do not perform same-sex marriages based on doctrine, and they are currently allowed to hold and practise those beliefs. Expanding regulatory control into faith could risk future interference in matters of conscience and doctrine.
In the South African context, there is also concern that regulatory systems can be misused or poorly implemented, creating risk of failure or abuse. It may also introduce new financial burdens through licensing fees and compliance costs, especially affecting smaller churches and ministries.
For these reasons, and in defence of constitutional freedom, equality before the law, and protection against unnecessary burden and overreach, the licensing or regulation of faith should be firmly rejected.

Ek stem nie saam dat die regering Godsdiens reguleer nie. Dis skending van menseregte, dit beteken ook dat die regeringstelsel nie demokraties is nie, maar dat die staat kommunisties is om vir die landburgers te wil besluit en voorse.
Ons het nog altyd vryheid van godsdiens gehad en elke mens het die reg om vir hom/haarself te besluit hoe hy/sy hul godsdiens wil uitleef.
Die Here het vir elkeen verstand gegee om vir hom/haarself te dink. Hoekom moet ons nou voorgese word hoe om die Here te aanbid en te dien as Hy self vir ons riglyn gee deur die Bybel. Ek stem rerigwaar nie saam nie. Ek wil godsdiensvryheid he ....!!!!!!

I believe I have a right to choose which religion I support and should not be governed by any political party. It is my right as a citizen and as part of the constitution and freedom as a human being.

The CRL cannot control our religious rights and convictions. God created us and we are only accountable to Him.

Every person of a nation has the right of freedom to practice their specific religion. Why government want to control ours and let a foreign religion in that plan to slowly convert all S. Africans to folliw their religion!!!! We detest this fully.

South Africa is a known Christian country. Nothing should intervere or govern this religion.
Islam is trying to take over and dominate other religions. Its not their right. They must go practice their religions in their own countries.
