International Press Release Submissions

Dear Reader

It has undoubtedly been a busy time for public participation, yet there appears to be no end as several new policy amendments have just been published – and are open for your comment.

Remember, public participation is your constitutional right and an opportunity to negotiate policy proposals brought forward by the government.

First up and open for comment is the Climate Change Bill, which seeks to;

develop an effective climate change response and a long-term transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy and society in the context of sustainable development.

The proposed Bill includes Personal Carbon budgets determined by the minister along with emissions regulations and limits.

Second up and open for comment is the Cannabis for Private Purposes Bill, which seeks to regulate;

  • commercial activities in respect of recreational cannabis;
  • the cultivation, possession and supply of cannabis plants and cannabis by cultural or religious communities; and
  • the use of cannabis for palliation or medication.

I encourage you to click the link below and influence the government’s decision on these draft proposals before they are implemented.

Your voice most certainly counts.

On another note: As we break the 300,000 participant mark on the Amendments to the Health Act, I would like to express gratitude for your role in this critical amendment. Along with delivering each public comment individually to the department, DearSA has presented a comprehensive submission and will proceed with action to place the proposed regulations under review.

As we have seen, public pressure creates impact – and your voice is a powerful influence on the direction of our democracy.

Together we can once again ensure that the people shall govern South Africa.
