Leave the poor inconspicuous bunny rabbit alone. What harm is he doing? Worry rather about the violence elsewhere

Politicians are boring and void of artistic understanding... Politicians you are also servants of the people, remember that... We want this so you obey our wishes... When you step into office your needs and opinion no longer matter... All that does is ours the people..

Artists have signed with symbols since art began. Tambo and the DAC are showing their ignorance. Artists must have a legal right to sign their work in a way they feel appropriate but which is not offensive. The little rabbit ads to the interest of the work and does not diminish it in any way.

Mandela would have loved it- he had a wonderful sense of humour and it would have made him giggle.

I think that little rabbit adds a special charm to the statue. I think Madiba would have loved it. So tragic he was not around to see it

Cannot believe a signature was not allowed in the first place. Maid a would support the artists right to creatively claim their work, I'm sure. So sick of the over control by a morally defunct government in the name of democracy!

To remove the rabbit would be to censor the artist. In many ways the rabbit is the symbol for the voice of the people in Madiba's ear. The value of the sculpture of Mandela is by no means diminished by the rabbit and it reminds us that, after it is everything else, it is still a work of art...

It is not visible and an artist should be allowed to have recognition. Madiba would agree

I do not see the need for the Artists to remove the rabbit as it serves as their signature. They were forbidden to write they names on the sculptor so they decided to inside a hidden rabbit in his ear, what is the fuss about now? If the rabbit is to be removed then grant them permission to write they names on his trousers or on the shoe/foot. Or even Let Mandela keep the rabbit as rabbits are kind quite friendly animals

dear Mr Mashatile, please do not remove the tiny rabbit - it is ok to allow a bit of whimsy in a work of art. It will create great interest and this story will be told throughout generations

Do the right thing Mr Mashatile, leave the poetic Rabbit just where it is and allow the 2 artists to sign their work. Thanks, in advance of your very sensibly poetic change-of-mind...
