Fix the Fundamentals: Have your say on local government
The Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) has released a Draft White Paper on Local Government for public comment. This long-overdue review openly acknowledges the failures of local governance over the past two decades — and while this honesty is refreshing, the solutions proposed miss the mark. Instead of confronting the core issues […]
Say No to Racial Classification in Land Ownership
The Chief Registrar of Deeds has introduced a new requirement—Form LLL—which forces all individuals involved in land transactions to disclose their race, gender, nationality, and citizenship. The justification? Statistical and land audit purposes. But we know better. This echoes South Africa’s painful apartheid history where racial classification was used as a tool for oppression. We […]
Protecting Public Safety Through Private Security

Stand up against economic exclusion: Oppose the proposed Transformation Fund
South Africa needs real economic transformation — but the proposed R100 billion Transformation Fund will not deliver it. Instead of fostering broad-based, inclusive growth, the Fund prioritises race-based criteria that risk benefiting only a politically connected few, while leaving the majority of small businesses, regardless of race, behind. Closes: 7 May 2025 Make your voice […]

Stop the financial collapse of healthcare – say NO to the NHI
The South African government has released its draft regulations for the National Health Insurance (NHI) Fund and is calling for public comment.

Stop the Job-Killing Minimum Wage Hike!

Public Participation: Draft Interim Block Exemption for Tariffs Determination in the Healthcare Sector, 2025
The South African government has introduced the Draft Interim Block Exemption for Tariffs Determination in the Healthcare Sector, 2025, aiming to regulate healthcare service tariffs and standardise medical codes.

Stop the Race-Based Land Grab! Oppose the Equitable Access to Land Bill
The South African government is fast-tracking yet another land reform bill—the Equitable Access to Land Bill—which explicitly seeks to redistribute land based on race. This Bill, combined with the recently signed Expropriation Act of 2025, will allow the government to seize private property without compensation, prioritising racial quotas over fairness, economic stability, and property rights. […]
Stop the VAT Increase – Protect South Africans from Rising Costs!

The Democratic Alliance (DA), a key coalition partner, has strongly opposed this hike, arguing that […]
