    As Christian believer, as an evangelist, i understand where this is going to, even though i am against it with many reasons. I and my fellow brothers in Christ we will stand for the truth no matter how much hurt to the world.

    I am against the hate speech to be passed as a bill by the government. Pastors must be free when preaching as long as what they preach is in the Bible.

    I am against this bill because not all people do understand what the bill means and so it will take away freedom of speech .I as a Christian believer have the right to tell people according to Gods word what is right and because of this hate speech some unbelievers will take it as an offence

    Hate speech is not defined – discretion leads to ” Kill the Boer” legalised by Courts. Too much discretion by Courts leads to total abuse and uncertainty. TOO MUCH DISCRETIONARY POWERS TO COURTS
