Excerpt: South Africans have been checking race boxes for more than three decades after apartheid — and Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) says it’s time to stop. Our new national campaign, End Racial Classification, Discrimination and BBBEE (2025), empowers citizens to legally declassify their race and identify as African, not as “white”, “black”, “coloured”, or “Indian”.
Because the Department of Home Affairs no longer keeps racial records, there’s no lawful basis to force anyone to disclose race. Using LFN’s free Declassification Forms, citizens can now lawfully challenge BBBEE and other discriminatory frameworks — on paper, in the workplace, and in court.
This is not protest — it’s constitutional action. Together, we can bring BBBEE to its knees — legally.
Be African. Be Free. Be LFN.

For more than 31 years, South Africans have been forced to live under the shadow of segregation-style racial categories — white, black, coloured, Indian — labels that should have vanished in 1994. Yet every tender, job application, and BBBEE certificate still asks one question:
“What race are you?”
The Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) now says: Enough.
Our new national campaign — “End Racial Classification, Discrimination and BBBEE (2025)” — gives every South African the constitutional power to declassify their racial status and legally reclaim their identity as simply African.
⚖️ Why LFN Says BBBEE No Longer Belongs in a Democracy
BBBEE was meant to fix the injustices of our segregational past. But after three decades, it has created a new system of exclusion — one that punishes people who had nothing to do with that doctrine and rewards a connected few.
The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, in section 9 (Equality), section 10 (Dignity), and section 18 (Freedom of Association) guarantees that every person has the right to be treated equally and to self-identify freely.
And here’s the reality the government doesn’t advertise:
The Department of Home Affairs no longer records or maintains any racial data for South African citizens.
Race is not part of your ID profile anymore. It was deleted from the national database years ago. The only remnants are occasional references to the race of your parents from pre-1994 archives — data that cannot lawfully define you.
That means there is no legal framework compelling any citizen to identify racially anywhere — not in job applications, not on BBBEE forms, not on tender documents.
🧾 How LFN’s Legal Counter-Strategy Works
LFN’s project uses a simple but powerful tool:
Form 1 – Notification to the Department of Home Affairs of Racial Declassification, available in English and Afrikaans.
Form 2 – Notification to Employer, or Third Party of Your Racial Declassification with the Department of Home Affairs and the State, also available in English and Afrikaans.
By completing and submitting Form 1, you:
- Formally notify Home Affairs that you reject any imposed racial classification such as “white”, “European”, “Black”, or “Caucasian”;
- Declare yourself “African”, and raceless for all legal and administrative purposes — including BBBEE and employment documentation;
- Assert your constitutional rights to equality, dignity, and self-identification;
- Mandate LFN to act on your behalf should any organ of state or private entity ignore your declaration.
By completing and submitting Form 2, where required, you:
- Formally notify your Employer or Third Party that you have declassified your racial classification with the Department of Home Affairs and that you further reject any imposed racial classification such as “white”, “European”, “Black”, or “Caucasian”;
- Notifies your Employer or Third Party, that you declare yourself “African”, and raceless for all legal and administrative purposes — including BBBEE and employment documentation;
- Assert your constitutional rights to equality, dignity, and self-identification;
- Mandate LFN to act on your behalf should any Employer or Third Party ignore your declaration.
This is not rebellion — it’s constitutional resistance.
Every completed form is a lawful strike against BBBEE’s discriminatory foundation.
🧠 The Legal Logic Behind It
Since government no longer keeps any racial registry, the BBBEE framework depends entirely on self-declaration.
That means you cannot be punished for how you lawfully self-identify.
Just as gender, sexuality, and cultural identity are protected rights, so too is racial self-identification.
Therefore, if you identify as African — regardless of skin tone or ancestry — the Constitution protects your right to do so.
By exercising that right, you make BBBEE’s racial categories collapse under their own weight.
In simple terms: if enough people declassify, the entire BBBEE system becomes administratively and legally unenforceable.
LFN’s goal is clear:
To bring BBBEE to its knees — legally.
🗣️ Who Should Join the Movement
While this initiative will mainly empower those excluded by BBBEE (especially so-called “white” South Africans), it is open to everyone who wishes to reject racial classification altogether.
If you see yourself only as African, or simply as a human being, this form is your voice.
BBBEE divides South Africans into hierarchies.
LFN’s project unites them under one identity: African.
🦏 A Peaceful Legal Revolution
Each declaration is more than paperwork — it’s a statement of conscience and conviction.
You’re saying:
“I am done being defined by colour. I am an African, equal before God and the law.”
This is a peaceful revolution — one that uses the Constitution itself to defeat discrimination.
