![Terrorizing a tyrannical government | Rob Hutchinson (DearSA)
I chat to Rob Hutchinson, Chairman of Dear South Africa (DearSA), an established South African civil society organisation which facilitates public participation in government policy formation. We discuss DearSAs model for success, the history of the organisation, South Africas rich collection of civil society organisations, the South African government saying organisations like DearSA terrorize them, and more.
Dear South Africa is a legally recognised and constitutionally protected non-profit platform which enables the public to co-shape all government policies, amendments and proposals. They have amassed an active participant network of over 900,000 individuals across the country and beyond. DearSA do not run petitions, but rather legally recognised public participation processes which allow citizens to co-form policy at all levels of governance.

Stelios and his colleagues have been doing detailed, regular, high-quality analysis of South African politics and current events from a British/European perspective for a while, and I wanted to therefore pick his brain as to why South Africa has caught their eye.

![My first documentary: Selfbestuur | Discussion Stream
I discuss the first documentary I made for AfriForum, called Selfbestuur. This documentary explains the Solidariteit (Solidarity) Movements detailed plan for the future, through the principle of community-federalism.
By means of various speakers, the ideas of becoming staatsbestand (state-proof) and selfdoen (do it yourself) are examined and unpacked, as well as demonstrated through practical examples. The documentary further discusses the ankergemeenskappe (anchor communities) initiative, international examples of federalism in action, provincial autonomy, growing autonomy for the Western Cape, Orania, Pretoria as a cultural canton, and more.

In this episode I have a conversation with Penuel The Black Pen, a South African online commentator, entrepreneur, podcast host and interrogator of powerful ideas.

![AfriForum at the United Nations 2022 | Feedback
I give feedback on AfriForums trip to Geneve, Switzerland, to attend the 15th session of the United Nations Forum on Minority Issues. Ernst Roets, AfriForum’s Chief Executive for International Liaison, delieverd a speech at the United Nations (UN) on the continued hate speech and discrimination against minorities in South Africa.
AfriForum also handed in a report in person at the offices of the United Nations’ Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in Geneve, Switzerland. This report forms part of AfriForum’s established and growing international awareness campaign.
The abovementioned report seeks to document all the new discriminatory legislation, incidents and policies in South Africa that have been implemented or proposed or have occurred since 2020. The report also documents some of the most prominent incidents of hate speech and incitement of violence against minorities by high profile figures in that same timeframe.
South Africa is due to be reviewed by CERD in 2023 in regard to the elimination of discrimination. CERD confirmed that AfriForum’s report will be included in this process. This is a major first step towards AfriForum establishing itself as a key roleplayer in this review process.
I also discuss our visit to South Tyrol to meet friends of the Afrikaners there.
