From Cape Town to Pretoria: The Court Battles Behind LFN’s Silence

Liberty Fighters Network has been unusually quiet the past few weeks — but not because the work has slowed down. From urgent environmental litigation in the Western Cape to standing alone against taxpayer-funded legal teams in multiple courtrooms, the past weeks have been relentless. In this update, Reyno De Beer explains where LFN has been, the battles fought for members and the public interest, and why the organisation now urgently needs the support of its Liberators to keep the fight going.

LFN Withdraws Amicus in Expropriation Case – DA Minister Pushes Costs

Tomorrow, Liberty Fighters Network will attend court following a call by the presiding judge — not because a live dispute remains, but out of respect for the institution.

What should have been a concluded matter has now escalated into a direct confrontation with the Democratic Alliance’s Minister Dean McPherson. LFN maintains that a lawfully withdrawn application cannot be resurrected through political insistence or procedural pressure.

This appearance is bigger than one case.

It is a public test of whether the Democratic Alliance still upholds constitutional principle — or whether it has become indistinguishable from the governance conduct it once opposed.

The public is invited to follow the proceedings closely.

LFN vs City, CapeNature & SANParks: High Court to Hear Urgent Baboon Governance Case

On Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 10h00, the High Court Western Cape Division, Cape Town will hear an urgent application brought by Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) against the Democratic Alliance (DA) run City of Cape Town, CapeNature and SANParks under case number 2026-024184.

At stake is not simply baboon management — but the legality, transparency and traceability of the Final Cape Peninsula Baboon Management Action Plan. LFN contends that irreversible implementation steps cannot proceed without clearly identified, lawfully authorised administrative decisions capable of judicial scrutiny. After the City and CapeNature refused to support a remote hearing, the matter will now be heard in open court. Members of the public are invited to attend.

LFN Takes On the DA: Western Cape Government Dragged to Court Over Baboon Plan

Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) has launched an urgent High Court application against the DA-led Western Cape Government, including Premier Alan Winde, to halt irreversible actions contemplated under the so-called Cape Peninsula Baboon Management Action Plan. At the heart of the case is not only the fate of the Cape baboons, but the Western Cape Government’s bypassing of lawful environmental oversight, its failure to appoint the constitutionally required Commissioner for the Environment, and its use of task-team structures to obscure accountability. LFN says conservation cannot be reduced to political expediency, nor can permanent wildlife interventions be forced through while constitutional obligations are ignored.

LFN Lifts the Curtain on the DA’s School Vaccination Scandal

Liberty Fighters Network exposes how the Minister of Basic Education planned a mandatory vaccination policy for public schoolchildren without evidence, without lawful authority, and without health expertise. Through the Minister’s own Rule 53 record in the High Court, LFN reveals that a DA-led ministry did exactly what it once accused the ANC of doing — forcing policy by decree, sidelining parents, and threatening children with exclusion from education to compel medical compliance. This is not public health. It is unconstitutional coercion.
