NEWS RELEASE: LFN Back in Court: Lockdown Extensions Were Invalid, Billions in Damages Possible

LFN has once again taken the fight to court. On 28 August 2025 we lodged a landmark application proving that the National State of Disaster legally ended on 14 June 2020 — and that every extension thereafter was unlawful. With three of the four COVID-19 vaccines now deregistered and hundreds of South Africans already coming forward with claims of loss, this case could open the way for billions in compensation. Download the full application from our website and see for yourself why this may become one of the most important constitutional battles in South Africa’s history.

💉 LFN Takes On Steenhuisen: Poultry Vaccination Permit Lands Democratic Alliance Leader in Court

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.

Special Treatment for the Powerful? AfriForum’s Court Shortcut Under Scrutiny

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.

A Liberty Fighters Network Real Story: How the Courts Became the State’s Chessboard, and Our Fight to Remind Them Who Pays for the Pieces

What started as an urgent case to stop court staff from quietly rewriting judges’ rulings has now turned into a masterclass in delay tactics — conveniently choreographed to suit the likes of the South African Reserve Bank and SAHPRA. While we, the public, are told to wait patiently until 28 October 2025, the very institutions under fire get to call the shots — even when they’re not the Respondents! Apparently, when Werksmans Attorneys whisper to the Registrar, court orders can magically fix themselves. But if I — as a self-represented “layperson” — dare to question it? I’m treated like I snuck into the judge’s chambers with a Sharpie and a dream.

This isn’t just about our case. It’s about a justice system that seems to work better for those who sign the cheques than for those who carry the Constitution. But we’re not going anywhere. Not today, not in October, not ever. The people are watching — and so are we.
