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.
7 April 2019 - Verstaan Cyril Ramaphosa nie dat die boere hom probeer help en dat hulle met sy ondersteuning daarin kan slag nie?
5 April 2019 - This is the way most South Africans want their national teams to be selected. A new Institute of Race Relations poll, to be released later in 2019 , shows that 83% of South Africans (and 82% of black South Africans) believe the only criteria for selecting national sports teams should be merit.
5 April 2019 - The land reform malaise owes very little to ‘resistance’, but to a swathe of other factors, many of which are squarely the responsibility of the government which President Ramaphosa heads.
4 April 2019 - People will also, as in Cuba, have the opportunity to revert to ‘ox-drawn ploughs’. This, says the SACP in The South African Road to Socialism, should not be seen ‘as a step back into the past’, but rather as a step forward into ‘a socialism of the 21st century’.

3 April 2019 - Call us old-fashioned, but we prefer to look a chap in the eye and know where he stands.
2 April 2019 - Dit het hoog tyd geword dat die Suid-Afrikaanse publiek een ding goed verstaan: Julius Malema is ’n haatpropageerder en -aanhitser van formaat. Sy uitlatings mik hy op minderheidsgroepe. Dit is ’n gevaarlike speletjie wat veroordeel en met wortel en tak uitgeroei moet word.
1 April 2019 - The DA might think that its occasional and qualified flirtations with race nationalism are innocent and of little consequence. They are not. In crossing a key line of liberal principle, the DA risks setting in motion a chain of events the consequences of which few people can properly imagine.
31 March 2019 - A strong ANC showing would certainly be a "mandate" for expropriation without compensation, for persisting with the proposed national health insurance system, and even for nationalising the South African Reserve Bank.
