# ‘n Regskenner is bekommerd dat SASSA se outomatiese stelsel wat aansoekers se geskiktheid vir die maatskaplike noodtoelaag bepaal, mense verkeerdelik afkeur. Die ten volle digitale aansoekproses laat slegs aanlyn aansoeke toe, en maak staat op outomatiese beheermaatreëls waar die banksaldo die bepalende maatstaf van die aansoeker se finansiële vermoë is.

Dit laat die kommissie toe om as ʼn onafhanklike en onpartydige grondwetlike liggaam op te tree, met die doel om sy doeltreffendheid in die Staatsdiens […]
# Solidarity says it’s time for South Africa to phase out its race-based policies, not because the US demands it, but because it’s the right thing to do. The US has announced new visa restrictions targeting those who promote race-based discrimination, incite violence against Afrikaners and other minority groups, or enable land confiscation without compensation.
