“South Africa has worked hard to create an inclusive constitution which promotes freedom of expression and encourages transparency. Hate speech and gender-based violence is a systemic problem that will not go away by merely policing online content,” said Dominique Msibi, OUTA’s portfolio manager on Special Projects.

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) believes that public funds should be used for social upliftment, which includes tackling racism and sexism in society, however, the civil society movement believes that these reasons that were presented to parliament were decoy explanations to enforce irrational censorship of opposing voices.



OUTA is a proudly South African civil action organisation, that is purely crowd funded. Our work is supported by ordinary citizens who are passionate about holding government accountable and ensuring our taxes are used to the benefit of all South Africans.
