LFN has opened a can of worms in the DA-led City of Cape Town over skyrocketing municipal property valuations that threaten to price ordinary homeowners out of their own properties. What began as a simple demand for transparency has already prompted responses from the Executive Mayor’s office, the City’s legal department and the national Minister of Cooperative Governance. With concerns mounting over wealthy foreign investors, questionable valuations and escalating property rates, LFN is demanding answers to a fundamental question: How can government demand more money from property owners without properly explaining how their properties were valued? If the authorities fail to address these constitutional concerns, LFN is prepared to take the fight to court.

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.
