25 August 2019 - Wat met kommersiële boere gebeur, sal bepaal wat uiteindelik met almal gebeur.
Media
Every week we reach hundreds of thousands of people through placing arguments in the media in support of the principles we stand for. No other advocacy group in the country does as much as we do to promote support for policies that defend your right, and that of your community, to make decisions about your own life free from counter-productive government interference.
23 August 2019 - The Institute of Race Relations (IRR) warns today that remarks by President Cyril Ramaphosa in Parliament yesterday indicate that the issue of prescribed assets remains a government policy priority.
20 August 2019 - In the real world, these people would be dismissed and never get a job in government again. In the ANC’s world, they’ll be recycled to perpetuate incompetence and corruption, because the ANC doesn’t have a ‘dustbin’ for members.
19 August 2019 - There are many uncertainties about the government's proposed national health insurance (NHI) system. Nobody knows how much it will cost. But some things are 99% certain. One is that the African National Congress (ANC) and its government are incapable of running such a system.
17 August 2019 - It is strangely reassuring to see Comrade Jeremy Cronin of the SA Communist Party (SACP) criticising Helen Zille's views.
16 August 2019 - It’s an easy ask to prompt readers to cover the short mental distance from “alt-right” and “neoconservative” to white supremacist or racist, as Ferial Haffajee wittingly or unwittingly does in casting Helen Zille and the Institute of Race Relations, both unmistakably liberal, as defenders of “minority interests and privileges”. But the irony of this core idea in her response to Zille on the central question of free speech in democracy is evidently lost on Haffajee.
15 August 2019 - Die gevaar wat voorgeskrewe bates vir die welvaart van Suid-Afrikaners inhou is ernstig. Pensioenfonds- en ander batebestuurders sal onverantwoordelik wees om nie hul kliënte van hierdie gevare bewus te maak nie, en dit is ook onverantwoordelik van hulle om nie alarm te maak oor hierdie bedreigings nie.
14 August 2019 - Providing all South Africans with free, quality healthcare is a noble goal. However, it cannot work in South Africa at our current stage of development; we simply do not have the money or the tax base to pay for such a huge undertaking, by far the biggest project ever attempted by any South African government.
14 August 2019 - Perhaps Paton could explain how Ramaphosa's own National Health Insurance NHI plan is not also likely to "send us to ruin".
13 August 2019 - There is only one thing to talk about – and that is how to stop expropriation without compensation (EWC). It is the greatest threat not just to agriculture and to the broader economy, but to the entire constitutional edifice, to civil rights, and the rule of law that this country has faced in 25 years. If we do not defeat the threat, we doom South Africa to a future of poverty, and failure, and chaos.
13 August 2019 - The mistake many South Africans seem to be making is that her role is that of Public Protector. That might be her office, but it is not her "role".
12 August 2019 - But if the Sanef case succeeds, it will be a sad day, because the media will have been complicit in curtailing a foundational freedom. And that will be the ultimate irony.
