26 August 2019 - What the country's political elite chooses in the coming months will weigh on South Africa for years to come.
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.
26 August 2019 - Next week, Wednesday 3rd September will mark the 80th anniversary of the British declaration of war against Nazi Germany, South Africa's parliament deciding on 4th September 1939 to follow suit.
26 August 2019 - The choice irony of recent days is the fervent approval by the EFF of the Equality Court’s ruling on the old SA flag, on the very grounds of muddled thinking about free speech that is being directed against the EFF itself.
25 August 2019 - Wat met kommersiële boere gebeur, sal bepaal wat uiteindelik met almal gebeur.
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.

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”.

15 August 2019 - Die gevaar wat voorgeskrewe bates vir die welvaart van Suid-Afrikaners inhou is ernstig.

14 August 2019 - Providing all South Africans with free, quality healthcare is a noble goal.
