The Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) has taken aim at a decades-old law that could let global health rules slip into South African law without Parliament or the public ever having a say. In a bold move, LFN has given the Government 14 days to explain its intentions on the newly amended International Health Regulations — or face a full-blown constitutional court battle.
LFN has formally given Minister of Basic Education Siviwe Gwarube 14 days to hand over all evidence and records justifying her proposed “No Jab, No School” Regulation 14. If she fails, we will strike first — with a court application to block the regulation before it can be implemented. We’ve seen this playbook before during COVID-19, when coercive policies were pushed through without proper proof, and we will not allow the same authoritarian overreach to target our children’s classrooms. This is not about public health — it’s about power, and we are ready to stop it.
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.
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.
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.
