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 Exposes Why BBBEE Still Exists: Not Law, but Voluntary Racial Compliance

The Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) has now received written confirmation from the Department of Home Affairs that South Africans are not legally classified by race. Race is not recorded, stored, or required by the State — yet BBBEE continues to exist because people keep voluntarily ticking racial boxes.

Despite LFN launching a lawful and practical declassification drive, only a handful of individuals have acted. This article confronts the uncomfortable truth: BBBEE survives not because of law, but because of compliance — and explains how South Africans can legally stop participating and bring the system to its knees.

Stop complying. Scrap races. Be African. Be free.

LFN’s Take on the Business Licensing Bill: A Balanced Voice Amid Rising Panic

The Business Licensing Bill has sparked fierce debate across South Africa. At Liberty Fighters Network (LFN), we cut through the noise to assess what the Bill actually proposes, how it might affect the unemployed, informal traders, and foreign business operators — and why now is the time for calm, critical engagement, not panic. While the Bill could potentially support fairer trade and community-level accountability, it also poses serious risks of abuse, overreach, and unintended exclusion if poorly implemented.

LFN does not endorse the Bill in its current form, but we stand ready to challenge any unconstitutional provisions once the final Act is enacted. In the meantime, we urge all South Africans to read, think, and act constructively.

LFN Launches Digital ID Resistance Project – It’s Time to Speak Up

At the request of our supporters, Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) has launched a focused national project to oppose the South African government’s planned Digital Identity (DID) system. While we are already managing over 20 ongoing public interest cases with minimal support, this initiative responds directly to the growing public concern over state surveillance, privacy erosion, and the quiet normalisation of digital control. Our newly published discussion document, “To Digital ID, or not to go digital, that is the question,” unpacks the legal, ethical and practical implications of DIDs in plain language. We now invite every South African to engage, contribute opinions, and join the call to ensure participation in such systems remains voluntary — not compulsory by design or stealth.

LFN Stands Tall Before the Pretoria High Court: A Battle for Judicial Integrity and Moral Courage

With only his late mother’s Bible opened at Psalm 23 before him and conviction as his armour, Reyno De Beer stood alone in the Pretoria High Court against the taxpayer-funded legal teams of SARB and SAHPRA. The hearing tested faith, courage, and conscience alike, exposing the uneasy truth about defective court orders and the declining ethics of a once-noble profession. Judgment is now awaited.
