The government must do their job and get our country to work properly.
They are supposed to have our best interest in mind, for the people that they promise to service.

The ANC have made such a mess of our country and did not look after the people they are supposed to serve.

I strongly oppose the proposal to license and regulate religious organisations. This is a direct violation of our constitutional rights to freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
Faith communities must have the autonomy to preach and practice according to their convictions, even when that message is unpopular or considered 'offensive' by others. Biblical truth is often uncomfortable, but that does not make it hate speech or a matter for state regulation. 
Furthermore, giving the state the power to decide who may or may not lead a religious institution blurs the lines between church and state. The government has neither the mandate nor the theological competence to define 'right' or 'wrong' in a spiritual context. This proposal places the government inside our churches where it does not belong.

It is everyones own choice which religion they want to follow and how they want to follow it, it is not a matter that should be regulated by the government in the first place. The government should rather consentrate on matters like service delivery, the state of the economy, work opportunities, foreign investment opportunities etc.

Absolutely do not agree, every single individual has the freedom to choose their faith. The state or government is their to ensure that basic human rights and freedoms are protected NOT govern or spiritual liberty and freedom.

Government is becoming a dictatorship. We the people have the right, as tax payers, to reject government interference into religious practise, choice and freedom.

Freedom of religion is a constitutional right. As is Freedom of speech.

This bill sets out to infringe on both these rights.

If we start tearing our constitution appart by removing even more rights from ordinary citizens we risk the stability of our democracy.

Right now there are several bills proposed that propose exactly that.

And I'm left wondering why we don't spend more time wondering about service delivery, curbing wasteful expenses and educating our youth.

Political overreach like this is expensive and unconstitutional.

This is one area the state shoul really keep out of. My faith is my choice and the contitution guarantees my freedom to choose. Nobody should be allowed to change that. No person or institution should be allowed to interfere, in which ever manner, in any persons believes. There was valid reasons why the court dismissed this proposal in the previous attempt.

Everyone has a Right to practice religion plus who will vet religious leaders & how -if you are not from that faith how can you judge/vett who is to be a religious leader/group!Even if you from that faith if you do not like a certain individual you might not grant them permission to be a Religious leader because of your own biases!
