PLEASE RECONSIDER ....this is such a valuable and new industry. Why even the ANC is using it more and more readily. Kill this freedom and we move a giant leap backwards. Us forward thinking South Africans - and we count you Mr President as one - can only see ignorance and poverty being supported through the bill. Just look at dictatorships...ignorance thrives in an over regulated environment. It's going to help destroy this lovely country.

(Johannesburg, 2019-03-25)

I myself own a creative business and feel the need to keep my creative efforts,which are a contrubution to the economy sustainable for my legacy and the legacy of this country. How are we supposed to grow President? Are these decisions really been made by you, or are there higher powers you are ignorantly taking instructions from. Care enough for your People. We are here to change the world not to play games. With Love I say this.
