When South Africans Speak with One Voice, Parliament Takes Notice

WeSay gives every South African the power to shape our future. Vote on petitions and critical national questions. Together, we create real political pressure.

Your voice matters. Your vote counts. United, we can drive change in South Africa. Cast your vote. Make your voice impossible to ignore.

Secure

Your data is encrypted and protected. One vote per person per petition.

Transparent

Real-time results and complete transparency in every vote.

Your Voice Has Constitutional Power

Government must serve the people. Not the other way around.

The power belongs to you. The South African Constitution guarantees your right to petition Parliament. Section 17 protects your right to peaceful assembly, demonstration, and petition. Sections 59 and 72 require Parliament to facilitate public involvement in its processes.

When thousands of South Africans unite on an issue, it creates powerful political pressure. Parliament receives petitions, refers them to committees for investigation, holds hearings, and uses them to drive oversight or legislative change. This is your country. Your voice. Your power.

How WeSay Petitions Drive Change

  1. 1. Citizens vote on a petition via WeSay
  2. 2. With strong public support, we compile results as evidence
  3. 3. The petition is formally submitted to Parliament
  4. 4. Parliament reviews, investigates, or refers to committees
  5. 5. Strong petitions can influence policy, trigger hearings, or contribute to new laws

The Power Is Yours

  • Every vote builds momentum
