Overview:

• Recognition and registration are amalgamated rather than ideally differentiated; a focus is placed on legal registration rather than existential recognition with few to no means for securement of the latter.

• Authorisation in the area of preregistration creates a cumbersome procedure with multiple barriers to final registration.

• Informational requirements are intrusive, particularly requests for the identities of members.

• The rule of mandatory registration violates the Bielefeldt provision.

Positive elements:

• Nil.

Recommendations:

• To become receptive, revoke present restrictive policies in the registration process such as retributions for unregistration, authorisation in preregistration, mandatory registration and membership quotas.

• Also to achieve receptive status, establish a revitalised recognition system that is able to bestow existential recognition and legal registration simultaneously as well as to all belief systems equally and at multiple levels of activity.

• To achieve dynamic, establish a recognition agency that is independent of government to deal with the revitalised recognition system.
