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 vs The Western Cape: The Battle to Restore the Environmental Commissioner the DA Buried

For 25 years the DA-led Western Cape has ignored its own Constitution by refusing to appoint the Commissioner for the Environment — a watchdog meant to protect this province’s residents from unlawful and unaccountable environmental decisions.

The baboon crisis has now exposed this failure. While the CPBMJTT operates without independence or legal authority, the constitutional oversight body has never been activated.

LFN and Monkey Valley have filed a formal constitutional complaint to revive this long-buried office. If authorities push ahead with irreversible actions, we will seek an urgent interdict to force lawful oversight at last.

This fight is no longer only about baboons.
It is about restoring the constitutional safeguard that the DA denied the Western Cape for a generation.

LFN Blocks Secret WHO IHR2024 Adoption: State Accepts Unconstitutionality of IHRA

Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) has achieved a landmark breakthrough after the State confirmed it has no objection in principle to LFN’s proposed draft court order. This means the Government now accepts that the outdated International Health Regulations Act, 1974 cannot be used to secretly implement the WHO IHR2024. The IHR2024 must now go before Parliament for full public participation — exactly what LFN fought for. Perseverance and faith have protected our liberties once again.

LFN Launches Digital ID Resistance Project – It’s Time to Speak Up

At the request of our supporters, Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) has launched a focused national project to oppose the South African government’s planned Digital Identity (DID) system. While we are already managing over 20 ongoing public interest cases with minimal support, this initiative responds directly to the growing public concern over state surveillance, privacy erosion, and the quiet normalisation of digital control. Our newly published discussion document, “To Digital ID, or not to go digital, that is the question,” unpacks the legal, ethical and practical implications of DIDs in plain language. We now invite every South African to engage, contribute opinions, and join the call to ensure participation in such systems remains voluntary — not compulsory by design or stealth.

LFN Launches National BBBEE Declassification Drive: It’s Time to End Racial Boxes!

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 Form (Form 1), 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.
