Just a reminder to everybody. 16h00 today is the cut off time for the submissions on public participation for the Film and Publication Boards current move to control the Internet (they will be unsuccessful and make this country look stupid, but in their failure a lot of other things could go horribly wrong). Please do send them written inputs - by email:
[email protected]

even if your email just says
Dear Film and Publications Board
Please stop being stupid and trying to regulate things that you clearly don't understand
Yours Sincerely
Or to be a little more in the "constructive criticism" vain
Dear Film and Publications Board
I am writing to add my voice on proposed Online Content Regulations as invited by Notice 182 of 2015 appearing in the Government Gazette. It is my respectful submission that the proposed regulations are irrational and unimplementable. Further I am gravely concerned that written public comment is closed on a date before the final public workshop/hearing event and submit that this is indicative of the fact that there is no intention to have proper public participation.
Kind Regards
