About Dear South Africa

Enabling you to shape government policy

Dear South Africa is an officially recognised non-profit platform which enables the public to co-shape all government policies, legislative amendments and proposals. We’ve run many successful campaigns and have amassed a considerably large active participant network of over 1 million individuals across the country and beyond.

We do not run petitions. We run a legally recognised public participation process which enables citizens to co-form policy at all levels of governance. Whereas petitions, even if they contain thousands of signatures, are considered as a single submission by government, our process ensures that each comment made through www.dears.africa is recognised and counted as an individual submission by government.
