An Unfinished Brief: LFN Renews the Abortion-Law Challenge in Memory of Judge Eberhard Bertelsmann

Before becoming a judge, Eberhard Bertelsmann SC stood as senior counsel in the 1998 constitutional challenge to South Africa’s abortion law. Almost three decades later, while terminally ill, he joined LFN in rethinking how that unfinished constitutional battle could return to court upon a stronger evidential and legal foundation. Following his passing, LFN reaffirms its commitment to pursue that challenge — and will dedicate it to the memory of the man who spent his final months helping us prepare to ask the questions he believed South African law had never fully answered.

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 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.

LFN Takes Aim at SA’s Alcohol Epidemic

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.

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.
