He Murdered His Family — But the Court Says He’s Sane: LFN Asks How That Makes Sense

A person brutally murders his entire family. Psychiatrists evaluate him. The court finds that he understood exactly what he was doing — and sends him to prison rather than a psychiatric institution. But if deliberately committing an unimaginable atrocity does not necessarily make someone legally insane, what exactly does it mean to be “sane”? LFN explores the fascinating divide between legal sanity, mental illness, criminal responsibility and what ordinary people regard as “normal” — and asks whether our criminal justice system needs another way of dealing with the most dangerous offenders.

LFN Exposes the Fine Print: South Africa’s Affidavits Are Heading into the Digital Unknown

LFN has formally objected to South Africa’s proposed new oath and affirmation regulations — and what appears at first to be a routine legal update could fundamentally change the reliability of sworn evidence. Remote commissioning, pre-signed affidavits, typed names treated as signatures, undefined electronic platforms and inadequate identity safeguards are only some of the concerns. As South Africa moves deeper into the age of digital identity, LFN asks the question nobody should ignore: if the commissioner and deponent no longer need to be in the same room, how do we prove who actually swore to what?

LFN Follows a Typo — and Asks: Where Is South Africa’s New Incitement Bill?

What began with LFN noticing a simple spelling error — “Offense” instead of “Offence” — opened a far more troubling question: where is the actual Conspiracy, Instigation and Incitement to Commit Offence Bill, 2026? Cabinet has approved this potentially far-reaching criminal-law Bill for introduction in Parliament, the Justice Minister has publicly explained what its clauses and Schedule supposedly contain, yet the actual Bill remains remarkably difficult for the public to access. With its roots in the segregation-era Riotous Assemblies Act and its potential implications for freedom of expression, protest and activism, LFN asks why nobody (either the MSM or popular social media platforms) appears to have demanded to read the legislation behind the headlines.

🏠LFN TAKES ON A 32-YEAR INJUSTICE: YOUR BED, YOUR TOOLS AND YOUR DIGNITY WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE FAIR GAME

For 32 years, South Africans facing execution have had crucial household goods, tools of trade, farming implements and professional equipment protected according to a monetary limit still rooted in 1994. LFN has now given Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi until 10 September 2026 to fix the R2 000 section 67 protection — or face a constitutional challenge and potential class proceedings. Learn what section 67 means, what to do when the sheriff arrives, and whether property previously taken from you could become relevant to this historic project.

LFN Forces the Real Question into Court: Who May Control South Africa’s Digital Money?

The wheels are now officially turning. Following LFN’s urgent High Court hearing on 4 August 2026, the constitutional challenge against the President and Minister of Finance over South Africa’s proposed Capital Flow Management Regulations has moved into judicial case management. While the immediate risk of the regulations being finalised appears to have subsided, the real legal battle is only beginning. This case is about far more than cryptocurrency — it goes to the heart of who controls our future digital money, digital identity, and financial freedom. Discover why this challenge matters to every South African and why LFN believes the rule of law must come before digital transformation.
