South Africans should not be dictated to by the WHO regarding their health protocols.

I strongly oppose the adoption of the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) International Health Regulations (IHR) amendments without formal ratification by the Parliament of South Africa. Under Section 231(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, any international agreement binds the Republic only after it has been approved by resolution in both the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces.
Bypassing this constitutional requirement to let amendments enter into force automatically undermines our national sovereignty. The Department of Health cannot treat far-reaching international health protocols as mere deferred or administrative regulations. Our elected Members of Parliament must have the final say through comprehensive legislative debate, strict constitutional oversight, and robust public participation.
Centralising pandemic response powers within an unelected global body threatens South Africa's legislative independence. I urge our leaders to defend our constitutional order and reject any amendments that have not been explicitly debated, voted on, and ratified by Parliament

1. WHO was a disaster while handling the COVID -19 pandemic. This demonstrates that the organization does not deserve a country's trust. It's just a business with secret agendas.

2. Its desire to undercut and control a country's sovereignty was very obvious.

3. It was led by suspected and now known corrupt officials.

South Africa is a sovereign nation. Our laws, public-health policies and national priorities must be determined in the interests of South Africans, and not accepted unquestioningly from international organizations.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed serious questions about public-health messaging, government decision-making, restrictions on personal freedom, and the long-term economic consequences of emergency policies. These questions deserve honest scrutiny, not silence or the dismissal of legitimate public concern.

I am particularly concerned about the influence of the World Health Organization (WHO) over national health policy and the possibility that international agreements or recommendations could constrain South Africa's ability to make independent decisions during future health emergencies.

The COVID-19 response also came at an enormous economic cost. Businesses closed, livelihoods were lost, workers were prevented from earning an income, and many households continue to experience financial pressure. Government borrowing undertaken during the crisis has consequences that extend beyond the emergency itself. South African taxpayers deserve transparency about those costs, how the money was spent, what outcomes were achieved and who is ultimately responsible for the decisions made.

Publish the full implications of any international health agreements for South Africa's constitutional sovereignty and domestic .Ensure that Parliament and the public have access to relevant documents and meaningful opportunities to scrutinize proposed commitments.
Require transparent, independent evaluation of the country's COVID-19 response, including the effectiveness, costs and unintended consequences of the measures implemented.
Explain the financial consequences of pandemic-related borrowing and the extent to which those obligations continue to affect public spending and taxpayers.
Ensure that future emergency measures are proportionate, supported by evidence.

WHO and the UN are both compromised. They no longer serve the purpose for which they were begun.

South Africa should resign from both. Or at the very least resist the global controls they wish to impose.
