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

Leave a Comment / Constitution, Legal, Legislation / By / / , , , ,

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?

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.

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.

LFN Raises the Red Flag: Can the Minister Legally Replace the Exchange Control Regulations?

Can the Minister of Finance lawfully repeal South Africa’s 1961 Exchange Control Regulations and replace them with an entirely new Capital Flow Management framework? LFN believes this is not merely a technical drafting issue, but a fundamental question of constitutional legality and the rule of law. In its formal submission to National Treasury, LFN raises concerns that section 9(1) of the Currency and Exchanges Act, read together with the Interpretation Act and confirmed by the Constitutional Court, vests the regulation-making power in the President, not the Minister. Before South Africa embarks on a new era of exchange control, the public deserves a clear answer: who really has the legal authority to rewrite the rules?
