@Princymthombeni This is Nonesense honestly. So what our own constitution is saying is that South Africa is free for all, when Africa is not free for all….

[Tboze @ThobelaniMchun3]

@Princymthombeni Ramaphosa is the master mind of the constitution that is not working for South African citizens.

[One-Day-Sopopa. @mjimero]

@Princymthombeni Haibo who is this committees that cannot read constitution of other countries, can't they understand the constitution or they want to understand or point out the side that suit their narratives we will not fold

[uDonda @WasenkweleniSA2]

@Princymthombeni These people are just telling us that they can disrespect us and we won't do anything about it. Meanwhile in other countries 👇🏽

[Ronald Mahlatse Ledwaba @LedwabaRonald]

This thing of referring to an act passed in 1991 or 1951 at the UN convention is utter nonsense. We're in 2026 and we're facing different challenges that needs different approaches and certainly new acts. We can't be relying on decisions taken over 50 years ago for current problems.

It's clear as daylight that our Constitution needs an overhaul. It no longer serves the purpose..

@Princymthombeni Republic International Law obligations..It's our own geopolitical achilles.
The SACR will need more financial backings, and exert more of the limited political influences2c these through.
Its going2b a long run. I concur that the back a buddy campaign target should be increased

[Gugu Shange @Gugu__Shange]

@Princymthombeni Is South Africa really for South Africans 🤔
Why are we being subjected to bend over backwards for everyone's dignity, humanity, livelihood. Why can't these laws favour us well, why don't they seek refuge elsewhere.
Nathi sikhathele siyi country 😭

[M_piece_ @P8_piece_]

@Princymthombeni RUBBISH - below are countries where the constitution reserves informal trading strictly for locals:

Ghana 🇬🇭 - GIPC Act 865.
Botswana 🇧🇼- Trade Act Regulations.
Zimbabwe🇿🇼 - Indigenisation & Economic Empo Act.
Tanzania 🇹🇿 - Non-Citizen Regulaiton.
Kenya 🇰🇪- County ByLaws.

I have been listening to the legal advisor interpretation and it is infuriating even the way the discussion is framed just makes it worse.

He says we cannot restrict informal trading exclusively to citizens because it may affect the dignity rights of non-citizens.

My question is: What about the dignity of South Africans who are unemployed, economically excluded, and struggling to survive?

Whenever South Africans raise a concern, the first response is a legal explanation of why it cannot be addressed.

If human dignity matters, does the discussion only begin when the rights of non-citizens are affected, or does it also begin when South Africans are living with unemployment, poverty, crime, and economic exclusion?

keep hearing about the dignity rights of everyone else.
What I don't hear enough about is the dignity of South Africans.
Is dignity only a concern when discussing non-citizens, or does it also apply to the millions of South Africans facing unemployment, poverty, economic exclusion, and declining living conditions?

The question South Africans are asking is much simpler:

Who is fighting for our dignity?

[cabanga Nje @cabanga_nje__]

@Princymthombeni So our constitution is a mere suggestion according to these people

[Ghost @Therealfugaze]

@Princymthombeni Why is not violation of human dignity in other parts of Africa but only here in this country 🤔 why are we being forced to accommodate everyone while they themselves don't others in their own countries

[LeratoM @LeratoM1v]

@Princymthombeni What can we do to amend that part of constitution 😭😭😫Ghana is one of the countries that reserves the informal trade to its citizens only, it exclude asylum seekers or refugees from trading in the informal sector

[annoying tweets @pat_mxolisi]

A lot is being defended in the name of human dignity. trade, education, health, and all. Everything is now pinned on this idea of human dignity.
The same human dignity that was brutally stripped away from them on a grand scale in their own countries.
This human dignity argument has become a massive loophole they are shamelessly exploiting lately.
And to say that the Constitution can not be changed is pure coercion and oppression of the citizens

[Mkhoshi Duma 🇿🇦 @MabhedlaKa]

Maybe the question South Africans need to start asking is whether the constitutional settlement of 1996 still reflects the priorities and realities of South Africa in 2026.

A constitution should command the confidence of the people who live under it. If growing numbers of citizens feel that it no longer serves their interests, concerns, or aspirations, then debate about constitutional reform should not be treated as taboo.

No document should be beyond democratic scrutiny.

The real question is not whether the Constitution can be criticised. The real question is whether it is still delivering the South Africa that people were promised.

You can hear that constitutional rights are being discussed in the abstract while citizens are focused on practical survival.

The constitution is being interpreted in ways that many South Africans believe undermine their economic interests and democratic priorities.

This contributes to the growing feeling that many South Africans have: the current constitutional order is not producing outcomes that many ordinary South Africans expected.

Maybe it time for a new constitution although because this current constitution is not serving us and it is used to protect and promote illegality. The sad reality is that a a black majority in this country we are always victims of this constitutional order.

We need a constitutional order that is more responsive to the priorities and concerns of ordinary South Africans.

[Mjudana_Kokwa @Mjudana]

@Princymthombeni @MduduziDlamini9 This is total disregard and disrespect for South African citizens who in majority are natives depending on that sector, how did other countries go around that issue in order to ring fence informal trading for locals only?

ANC needs to be voted out, starting with municipalities!

[Treble Champions 25/26 ☠️🇿🇦 @NtombikayiseBa6]

@Princymthombeni Somalia is too far from South Africa, we shouldn’t even have them as refugees in this country. They should have seek refuge in their neighbouring countries. This is nonsense

[🇿🇦 Zandi Thabethe🇳🇦🇧🇼🇸🇿 @zandy_thabethe]

@Princymthombeni Not violation in Zimbabwe, Tanzania or Ghana right ?
Why do these human rights differ when it comes to SA ?
My people we need to wake up & vote wisely going forward. Don't vote for something that won't put you first & is willing to sell you down the river too fast!

[moAfrika Borwa @moAfrikaWaBorwa]

The only solution is to loot all foreigner owned informal businesses, that way they'll have no choice but to stop informal trading.

Informal trading has a lot of money and could reduce unemployment, I honestly don't know what some people gain from keeping South Africans unemployed.
