DA Faces Scrutiny as LFN Takes the Fight for the Baboons and the Environment Back to Court
Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) is placing the DA under growing public scrutiny as the battle over the Cape Peninsula baboons returns to the Western Cape High Court tomorrow Friday, 28 August 2026 at 10h00. But this fight has become about far more than baboons: at its heart lies the still-vacant constitutional Office of the Commissioner for the Environment — an independent watchdog intended to protect the environmental interests of everyone in the Western Cape. With LFN calling for restraint before irreversible measures overtake the litigation, the question is now whether the DA will act, or leave the controversy to the very structures whose conduct is being challenged.
