The Democratic Alliance and its Minister Dean Macpherson thought they had scored a decisive victory against Liberty Fighters Network. Armed with senior counsel, State Attorneys, and a punitive court order, the Minister publicly celebrated what appeared to be a crushing defeat for LFN and its President, Reyno De Beer. But while the victory lap was underway, another court process was quietly unfolding behind the scenes. What happened next changed everything. After considering submissions from both sides, Goliath DJP ruled that the Court was functus officio and granted no costs order against LFN and De Beer, striking at the very heart of the narrative the DA and its Minister had been promoting. This is the remarkable story of how a volunteer-driven public interest organisation, standing virtually alone against a well-funded political party, a government minister, senior advocates, attorneys, and the weight of the legal establishment, refused to back down. From courtroom confrontations and procedural battles to conflicting judicial outcomes and a ministerial celebration that may have come far too soon, this is a legal drama that every South African who cares about justice, accountability, and access to the courts should read.

Now read the full story, which would inspire you not to vote for the DA ever again…

LFN Withdraws Amicus in Expropriation Case – DA Minister Pushes Costs

Tomorrow, Liberty Fighters Network will attend court following a call by the presiding judge — not because a live dispute remains, but out of respect for the institution.

What should have been a concluded matter has now escalated into a direct confrontation with the Democratic Alliance’s Minister Dean McPherson. LFN maintains that a lawfully withdrawn application cannot be resurrected through political insistence or procedural pressure.

This appearance is bigger than one case.

It is a public test of whether the Democratic Alliance still upholds constitutional principle — or whether it has become indistinguishable from the governance conduct it once opposed.

The public is invited to follow the proceedings closely.

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.
