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.

LFN vs the DA: How the Democratic Alliance Became What It Once Fought Against

LFN has now taken the unprecedented step of challenging almost the entire DA Cabinet in court — Steenhuisen, McPherson, Gwarube, and soon Schreiber. From unlawful vaccine rollouts, concealed decision records, unconstitutional school regulations, and chaotic filings in the Expropriation Act case, the DA has revealed a disturbing truth: once in power, they have become everything they once condemned. While the DA hides decisions, bypasses public participation, and pushes mandates behind closed doors, LFN stands alone in holding each of these ministers to account. This article exposes how the “clean alternative” lost its way — and how LFN is forcing transparency back into government, one court case at a time.

LFN Exposes SAPA’s Coordinated Attack: Steenhuisen’s Shield Slips

Liberty Fighters Network has uncovered a coordinated attempt by the South African Poultry Association (SAPA) to shield the DA’s Minister John Steenhuisen from accountability after he failed to file his answering affidavit by 13 November 2025. Instead of engaging with the unlawful and premature importation of avian-influenza vaccines, SAPA launched an aggressive intervention filled with personal attacks while openly rejecting mediation. The Minister’s silence and SAPA’s hostility now make it clear that LFN stands alone between the public and a political-industry alliance determined to avoid scrutiny. We will proceed to enrol the review as unopposed and continue exposing the truth in defence of South Africans’ safety, transparency, and constitutional rights.

LFN Exposes Steenhuisen’s Premature Poultry Deal: Vaccines Before Permits!

On 22 September 2025, the Minister of Agriculture, John Steenhuisen, finally produced the official “record of the decision” in LFN’s High Court review case. The record exposed a shocking truth: Steenhuisen had already announced and sourced vaccines on 5 June – weeks before the permit was issued on 30 June. With no real consultation, no safety studies, and no internal reasoning, LFN has now filed a supplementary affidavit to strengthen the case that this was an irrational and hypocritical decision that must be set aside.

LFN Takes On Double Vaccine Scandal: From Chickens to Cattle, Steenhuisen Must Answer

Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) has launched its second major court battle against Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen — this time over his decision to push through a R70 million Foot and Mouth Disease vaccination campaign for cattle. Just earlier, LFN already took him to court for authorising poultry vaccinations against Avian Flu without public consultation or scientific transparency. Now the Minister has repeated the same unlawful pattern: no records, no peer-reviewed studies, and no chance for South Africans to have their say. LFN argues that this “double vaccine scandal” threatens not just farmers, but every consumer who will unknowingly eat products from vaccinated animals, while government once again hides behind secrecy instead of science.
