A person brutally murders his entire family. Psychiatrists evaluate him. The court finds that he understood exactly what he was doing — and sends him to prison rather than a psychiatric institution. But if deliberately committing an unimaginable atrocity does not necessarily make someone legally insane, what exactly does it mean to be “sane”? LFN explores the fascinating divide between legal sanity, mental illness, criminal responsibility and what ordinary people regard as “normal” — and asks whether our criminal justice system needs another way of dealing with the most dangerous offenders.

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.

On a short drive along the N1 from Acasia to Midrand, my family and I encountered two separate intoxicated drivers — late morning, on a busy highway, still drinking while driving. That moment, together with recent revelations about South Africa’s R25 billion illicit alcohol underworld, forced a hard reckoning. This is not an abstract debate about “responsible drinking”. It is a confrontational call to South Africans to reconsider alcohol’s role in our crime, violence, family breakdown, moral erosion, and even our ability to resist corruption — starting now, at the beginning of the year.
