A group of churches, South African Church Defenders, is marching against the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities, (CRL Rights Commission)
It is unhappy about what it is referring to as misleading the public about its intentions toward churches about the proposed "self-regulatory" framework which it says masks a deeper push toward state regulation of Christian institutions.
The commission has repeatedly insisted that it is not seeking to regulate churches, describing the initiative as voluntary and consultative.
