Although the Prevention and Combating of Hate Crimes and Hate Speech Bill was introduced to Parliament in April 2018 and revived in October 2019, it has been ignored by MPs.

t ask why would an association with the representative body of a person’s community disqualify them from sitting on the Constitutional Court following BDS s statement on David Unterhalter?
South Africa is both a community of communities and a republic of individual citizens.
One of the core common values that unites it as a nation is a shared respect for diversity of beliefs, histories and cultures. Individuals have multiple and complex identities which they choose, which they create, and which they inherit.
In this, the South African Jewish community is no different. It is heterogenous and contradictory, prone to ever shifting disagreements and robust debates about everything.
