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.

13 October 2019 - Die brandpuntprobleme in ons land is deel van die eeuelange stryd van vryheid versus oorheersende staatsmag. Die nuutste front wat geopen is in hierdie stryd sny verbasend diep tot die kern van die konflik: prescribed assets, oftewel voorgeskrewe bates.

12 October 2019 - The wasteful divisiveness of racial nationalism failed once before ... – but failed at great cost, for it endured and defended itself cruelly. That should not be allowed to happen again. It must be opposed effectively from the liberal corner.
10 October 2019 - I saw you speak once on an unforgettable day. April 7, 2017. I was just one of 30,000 who marched to the Union Buildings to join hands with my compatriots and say Zuma Must Fall!
