“Some amendments proposed by the public are unconstitutional.”
Apparently, we are not supposed to rewrite the Constitution but only amend it. 😂
Today’s discussion raised an interesting question: if certain provisions cannot be touched because they have already been interpreted or ruled on by the Constitutional Court, then what exactly is the purpose of this review process?
Surely one of the reasons people propose amendments is to clarify wording, close loopholes, and remove ambiguities that have led to interpretations they disagree with.
We were told that provisions such as “every child has a right to education” are rooted in international instruments, including the 1951 UN Convention, and therefore cannot simply be changed.
The @EFFSouthAfrica representative argued that South Africa cannot isolate itself from the international community and must remain aligned with its international obligations.
@Mngxitama2 then posed a question that many South Africans may be asking: if public submissions can be dismissed as unconstitutional and rejected by the legal team, what is the actual purpose of the Constitutional Review Committee? He argued that it cannot be correct for the concerns and proposals of citizens to be set aside on that basis alone.
A fair question remains: if some parts of the Constitution are effectively beyond the reach of public amendment proposals, what exactly are South Africans being invited to review?

South Africans don't forget we voted the ANC out of power and DA, PA, IFP, Good, PAC, FF+, UDM, Rise Mzansi and Al Jama-ah kept them in power.
Don't forget!!

NEWS: Four suspects believed to be Ugandan natuonals have been arrested for fraud and extortion and hauled before the Booysens Magistrates’ Court in Gauteng.
Ismair Nsubugu, George Lubuluma, Geofrey Bukenya, and Nicolas Bolodangaine, allegedly convinced a desperate South African woman that her money could be multiplied through ancestral rituals conducted by a fake Ugandan priest.
After becoming suspicious, the woman alerted the police who then conducted an operation.
One of the suspects was arrested while accompanying the woman to Midrand to secure loans from a bank so that she can take money to the fake pastor.
The suspect subsequently led police to a property in Winchester Hills, where three additional suspects were arrested. It is where the police discovered a makeshift altar and an underground cave allegedly used to deceive victims into believing that ancestors were communicating with them - KZN Tonight Podcast
The Head of State has powers over the entire State. Whatever bills are passed in Parliament, need his signature to be law.
He appoints Judges that adjudicate on judicial matters of the people.
He appoints Ministers that preside over the affairs of the people.
If enemies attack South Africa, He is the only person who can declare war on our enemies.
We want to satisfy ourselves that, as Mr Ramaphosa holds that powerful office of being Head of State, he is not under any foreign, corrupt or criminal network influence.
We want to be certain that the President of the country, only advances the national interests and aspirations of South Africans.
Minister @GwedeMantashe1 has alluded theft is dealt with by the Police and no one else including other Departments. He infers the theft of undeclared dollars in Phala Phala should have been dealt with by the Police and not the President.
