I am South African and some people here have been prosecuted and fined for hate speech. It is not a good time.

I skimmed thru. Sounds like it makes any criticism or discrimination (which also means 'to differentiate') illegal.

well the stirring up violence part probably makes sense, "let's kill some XY" should be illegal to say.

disagree. It should be legal to say "lets kill XY", but obviously surveillance warrants should follow. no jail

On a plain reading, it would be illegal to ridicule someone for their "belief". "Belief" is not defined in the act.

So ridiculing someone for believing their daughter will be a better person if her genitals are mutilated would be illegal.
