New conspiracy, instigation and incitement laws for South Africa are coming

• The new laws will replace the Riotous Assemblies Act and define 'serious offences' as crimes that pose a significant threat to public safety.
• The bill aims to address concerns raised by the Constitutional Court, which deemed parts of the previous act too broad and specific wording unclear.
• Reactions from opposition parties have been mixed, with some welcoming the move as a step towards greater clarity on incitement laws, while others have expressed concerns about the potential for abuse.
