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 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.

Liberty Fighters Network (LFN) has already dragged Minister John Steenhuisen, DA leader, to court over his secret Avian Flu vaccination decision — and now we are demanding answers on his Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccine rollout too. For years the DA accused the ANC of secrecy and arrogance, yet Steenhuisen is doing exactly the same: spending over R70 million, bypassing the Department of Health, and rolling out mass vaccination without proof of safety, transparency, or public consultation. LFN will not let this hypocrisy go unchallenged.
