LFN Exposes the Gap Between Steenhuisen’s Media Claims and the Courtroom Truth

While the Minister of Agriculture assures the public that the Avian Flu and Foot-and-Mouth Disease outbreaks are being handled, the courtroom record tells a very different story. In two live review applications brought by Liberty Fighters Network, the Minister has failed to oppose, failed to produce critical records, and failed to account under oath — even as he publicly concedes that the FMD outbreak is a battle being lost. With disaster-level consequences looming and no evidence of engagement with the National Disaster Management Centre, LFN is escalating the matter to the President. This article exposes the growing chasm between media narratives and legal reality — and why it matters for South Africa’s food security and farmers.

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.

When Good Faith Is Exploited: Why LFN Is Changing How We Take on New Cases

Excerpt: Liberty Fighters Network exists to defend ordinary South Africans against a State and banks with unlimited resources and legal budgets. Across hundreds of open matters, we continue to assist those who cannot afford legal representation — without charging a cent and without discrimination.

Over the years, LFN has conservatively invested more than R1 billion worth of legal work back into the public, a figure that continues to grow. While many quietly support this work, others save substantial legal costs and move on without acknowledging the value of what is, or was, done for them.

From 2026, LFN will implement a necessary policy change to preserve its ability to assist those who truly have no alternative. This article explains why that line has been drawn, what it costs to fight the State without remuneration, and why sustainability requires honesty, boundaries, and shared responsibility.

When Power Oversteps, LFN Steps In — Our 2025 Year of Continued Legal Resistance

This year, Liberty Fighters Network took some of the most powerful offices in South Africa back to the witness stand of the Constitution — from secret vaccination decisions, to school-admission overreach, to WHO treaty enforcement and the unfinished business of the lockdown disaster. While government works with full-time teams and taxpayer funding, LFN continues this fight with minimal hands and maximum responsibility. As the courts go on recess, the pressure on us does not stop. If you value this work and want LFN to enter 2026 with strength, consider supporting our year-end effort through our website. Not as charity — as an investment into South Africa’s constitutional future.

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.
