LFN is now enrolling its constitutional challenge against the Minister of CoGTA for hearing on the opposed motion roll in the High Court, Pretoria. At the centre of the case is a serious question: did South Africa’s National State of Disaster legally lapse on 14 June 2020, and were millions thereafter subjected to lockdown measures under powers that no longer lawfully existed? The matter now also raises disputes over missing documents, procedural irregularities, and constitutional accountability that could have far-reaching consequences for the South African public.

For years, South Africans were told that our population-register information was protected by law. But after deeply analysing the current Identification Act and Regulations, LFN has uncovered what may be a massive constitutional defect hidden within the existing system itself. The shocking revelation? Long before Digital IDs even become fully operational, the current legal framework already appears to allow real-time and batch access to population-register information by various entities, without constitutionally adequate safeguards ever properly being prescribed.

This raises a terrifying question: Has our private information already been circulating for years without the public truly understanding the extent of it?

LFN has now formally placed the Minister of Home Affairs on terms to address this constitutional dilemma within 30 days, failing which constitutional proceedings may follow in the High Court. The implications could be enormous, potentially opening the door to some of the largest privacy and dignity claims South Africa has ever seen.

The full letter addressed to the Minister of Home Affairs can be found under this article.

LFN has formally pushed back against South Africa’s proposed Digital ID amendments, warning that a system presented as “voluntary” could quietly become compulsory in everyday life. The organisation’s detailed submission identifies major constitutional, privacy and drafting concerns, including loopholes that may expose citizens to excessive surveillance, data-sharing and indirect digital coercion.

Tomorrow, Liberty Fighters Network will attend court following a call by the presiding judge — not because a live dispute remains, but out of respect for the institution.

What should have been a concluded matter has now escalated into a direct confrontation with the Democratic Alliance’s Minister Dean McPherson. LFN maintains that a lawfully withdrawn application cannot be resurrected through political insistence or procedural pressure.

This appearance is bigger than one case.

It is a public test of whether the Democratic Alliance still upholds constitutional principle — or whether it has become indistinguishable from the governance conduct it once opposed.

The public is invited to follow the proceedings closely.

On Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 10h00, the High Court Western Cape Division, Cape Town will hear an urgent application brought by Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) against the Democratic Alliance (DA) run City of Cape Town, CapeNature and SANParks under case number 2026-024184.

At stake is not simply baboon management — but the legality, transparency and traceability of the Final Cape Peninsula Baboon Management Action Plan. LFN contends that irreversible implementation steps cannot proceed without clearly identified, lawfully authorised administrative decisions capable of judicial scrutiny. After the City and CapeNature refused to support a remote hearing, the matter will now be heard in open court. Members of the public are invited to attend.
