Tomorrow, Thursday, 9 October 2025, history will be made — though few South Africans will realise it.
In a confidential, private virtual session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR), the long-awaited hearing on the merits of former President Jacob Zuma’s human rights case against the Republic of South Africa will finally take place.
And it will be argued by none other than Reyno De Beer, president of Liberty Fighters Network — a white Afrikaner Boer leading a legal human rights battle for a black former President before Africa’s top human rights tribunal.
This is not just a case.
This is a reckoning.
⚖️ Why This Case Matters
In 2021, South Africa’s Constitutional Court sentenced Zuma to 15 months’ imprisonment without trial and without the right to appeal. Liberty Fighters Network, with written consent of Zuma, lodged a complaint with the ACHPR in January 2022, arguing that the state violated Zuma’s rights under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights — a binding international human rights instrument.
In March 2024, the eleven Commissioners issued a groundbreaking decision by the ACHPR confirming that Zuma had a prima facie case — that his rights may have indeed been violated.
But that was just the beginning.
🛑 Media Blackout, Public Silence
Everything most South Africans think they know about Jacob Zuma has been shaped by the mainstream media.
For years, the narrative has been tightly controlled: Zuma was corrupt. Zuma didn’t care. Zuma defied the courts. Anyone associated with him has been painted with the same brush — tainted, dismissed, or ridiculed.
But what the public has never seen are the thousands of pages of legal submissions filed by LFN before the African Commission.
These documents, lodged over the past three years, tell a very different story — especially about what truly unfolded during the now-infamous Zondo Commission, and the Constitutional Court’s controversial role in Zuma’s imprisonment.
On the other side, despite the massive legal significance of these proceedings — and the provisional ruling already granted in Zuma’s favour — not a single South African media outlet has reported on it.
Not one.
Even when LFN lodged a formal complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission, accusing the entire media establishment, via the South African National Editors Forum (SANEF), of collusive silence, the investigation was dropped without reason.
And now, as Zuma’s case finally proceeds to a full merits hearing before the entire eleven-member bench of the ACHPR, the State is appearing with an entire senior legal team — at taxpayers’ expense.
On Zuma’s side?
Only Reyno De Beer, the white Boer who has stood by him from the start.
And still, the public knows nothing.
🚨 Closed to the Public, But Not Without Consequence
Due to ACHPR Rules 102 and Article 59 of the African Charter, this hearing is closed to the public, and all discussions must remain confidential until the African Union Summit formally approves the Commission’s findings, expected in early 2026.
But let it be clear:
What happens in this hearing could alter the course of South Africa’s constitutional future.
🤝 Unity Beyond Politics, Race or Power
This case symbolises far more than Zuma.
It is a story of two very different South Africans — Jacob Zuma and Reyno De Beer — fighting a shared battle for justice, accountability and truth, not just for one man, but for millions.
It is a symbol of what’s possible when we strip away colour, political brand, or media spin — and return to principle.
🌍 A Message to the People
To all South Africans — black, white, rural, urban, rich, poor:
This is your case too.
Because if rights can be denied to one man without consequence, they can be denied to anyone.
We may not be allowed to share what happens in the hearing tomorrow, but rest assured:
Liberty Fighters Network will not stop until the full truth is revealed.
And when that day comes, the world will know.
