💉 LFN Takes On Steenhuisen: Poultry Vaccination Permit Lands Democratic Alliance Leader in Court

When vaccines are approved without consultation, and the people are expected to swallow the consequences — quite literally — LFN stands firm. In a bold legal move, Liberty Fighters Network has taken Democratic Alliance leader and Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen to court over his secretive decision to mass-vaccinate South Africa’s poultry. The same state that once urged citizens to trust COVID-19 vaccines — three of which were later deregistered following LFN’s relentless legal challenge — now expects us to trust again, without question. This time, it’s not in our arms… it’s on our plates.

The Spirit of Don Quixote Lives Through Liberty Fighters Network

We at Liberty Fighters Network are often seen as lone challengers against powerful institutions — mocked, marginalised, and misunderstood. But like Don Quixote, we remain steadfast in our conviction. The difference? Our giants are not imagined — they are real, systemic, and entrenched. This is not madness. It is resistance. And if the cost of standing alone is the price for standing for justice, then so be it.

Special Treatment for the Powerful? AfriForum’s Court Shortcut Under Scrutiny

Liberty Fighters Network has uncovered what appears to be preferential treatment in AfriForum’s challenge to the Expropriation Act. Despite no record of a properly lodged application or enrolment on the urgent court roll, Deputy Judge President Ledwaba issued an order transferring AfriForum’s case to Cape Town — while thousands of ordinary litigants wait years for justice. On 12 July 2025, we formally placed AfriForum and the State Attorney on terms to prove this process was lawful by 15 July 2025, failing which we will escalate the matter to the Judicial Service Commission, the Legal Practice Council, and apply for rescission of the order. This is about more than one case — it is about whether South Africans can trust that our courts treat everyone equally.

Liberty Fighters Network Demands Transparency on Poultry Vaccination Programme

Liberty Fighters Network has formally demanded that the Minister of Agriculture disclose all records and scientific evidence behind South Africa’s unprecedented mass vaccination of poultry against avian influenza. With no clear involvement from the Ministry of Health and no public consultation, serious questions remain about the safety of consuming vaccinated poultry and the legal basis of this sweeping decision.

🛑 KEEP LFN ALIVE – PRACTICAL SUPPORT NEEDED

We’ve stood by the People against unlawful evictions, court corruption, and banking abuse. But Liberty Fighters Network runs solely on voluntary efforts — no salaries, no backers. I serve full-time without pay, alongside committed volunteers, while juggling family and survival. My own transport is down, and with another child on the way, the pressure is real. If we can’t survive, LFN can’t continue — not because the mission is gone, but because the means are.
