Deputy-minister of Justice and Constitutional Development John Jeffery says the idea behind the Prevention and Combating of Hate Crimes and Hate Speech Bill is to detail the specific crime of hate speech and punishments for the offence.

The Bill is before parliament and now also includes the category of hate speech and measures that will be instituted to combat the problem. Jeffrey says the bill outlines sentences that can be imposed on a person who commits such violations. “It’s an existing crime that becomes a hate crime because of the motive. That would be particularly if the reason you committed this crime against a person was really just that you didn’t like the group that they belong to.

Typical ANC policies; you can murder and rape anyone but you may not tell them what they are, even if they acknowledge it.

The powers that be don't tell the haters that if disrespect one like me you disrespect me as well

This long overdue, when the poor people talks about 'nothing has changed since 1994' this is one of their main gripes for they are still being disrespected, insulted, despised by the very people who dispected them before 1994.
