Do you believe responsible South Africans should have the right to defend themselves? Government keeps tightening the rules around lawful firearm ownership, while violent crime remains out of control. For many South Africans, owning a firearm is not about sport or politics. It is about protecting themselves, their families and their homes when help may be minutes away. Add your voice and stand with Free SA in defending the right to lawful firearm ownership and self-protection. freesa.org.za/defend-gun-rig…

Do South African women really have freedom of movement? Too many women plan their lives around danger, avoiding certain streets, travelling only at certain times, checking who is behind them, and changing how they move through public spaces. President Cyril Ramaphosa has given government 60 days to act on key failures in the fight against gender-based violence. Free SA wants South Africans to speak up before that deadline arrives. Tell the President what women are experiencing, where the system is failing, and what must have changed by 28 November 2026. Raise your voice. Demand measurable action. freesa.org.za/do-south-afric…

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s words on gender-based violence must be followed by action. Free SA’s Gideon Joubert joined Ndevhe Tsini on @Phalaphala FM to discuss violence against women in South Africa. omny.fm/shows/phalaphala-caf…

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s latest promises to combat gender-based violence and femicide must not become another set of government commitments that are announced during a national crisis, applauded for their intentions, and quietly forgotten once public outrage subsides. freesa.org.za/seven-years-of…

POLL: Is the South African government doing enough to combat farm attacks and farm murders? This weekend, 3,000 white crosses stood on the National Mall in Washington, DC, each representing a life lost in a farm attack in South Africa. The White Cross Project has once again put farm attacks and farm murders in the international spotlight. But back home, the question remains: Should government be doing more to protect farmers and rural communities? Vote in the Free SA poll: freesa.org.za/is-the-south-a…

Joburg spends around R21 billion a year on salaries, while potholes, broken infrastructure and service-delivery failures continue to pile up. Seven of 22 senior managers reportedly failed to meet their performance targets, yet not one had their pay withheld or clawed back. High salaries must come with high accountability. Add your voice and demand transparency, performance and value for Joburg residents’ money before 30 October 2026. ✍️ freesa.org.za/joburg-high-sa…

South Africa needs jobs, investment and opportunity, not more racial regulation. Government’s draft Employment Equity Code risks allowing racial targets to influence who gets opportunities in the workplace. Add your voice and tell government that skills, qualifications and experience should come first. 🗓️ Make your voice heard in Parliament before 22 September 2026 👇 freesa.org.za/south-africa-n…

Free SA has raised serious concerns over government’s draft Employment Equity Code, warning that South Africa cannot afford employment rules that continue to make race a central consideration in the workplace. Read more: freesa.org.za/south-africa-n…

Free SA calls on the National Minimum Wage Commission to reject any further increase in South Africa’s national minimum wage, warning that another government-mandated wage hike risks shutting even more unemployed and inexperienced South Africans out of the formal labour market.

South Africans should never have to fear losing their property for nil compensation. Property rights give people the confidence to buy homes, build businesses, invest, create jobs and build wealth for the next generation. Weakening those rights threatens the future of every South African who wants to own something of their own. Say NO to nil compensation. Stand up for property rights. ✍️ Make your voice heard: freesa.org.za/protect-proper… 🇿🇦 Join us. Support us. Be the change. freesa.org.za/donate

🚨 Say no to race-based economic control. South Africa cannot afford another round of failed policy dressed up as “transformation.” The proposed BEE amendments don’t expand opportunity, they restrict it. They increase compliance, raise barriers to entry, and make it harder for businesses to grow, invest, and create jobs. After decades of BEE, the promise of broad-based empowerment remains unfulfilled, while ordinary South Africans are still locked out of real economic opportunity. This campaign is about something simple: 👉 Growth over bureaucracy 👉 Opportunity over race-based quotas 👉 Empowerment that actually works 📝 Make your voice heard. Join Free SA in calling for the repeal of race-based empowerment laws and a shift toward policies that grow the economy for everyone. 🔗 Take action now: freesa.org.za/stop-bee/ 🤝 Be part of the movement for accountability, transparency and freedom.

Free SA is calling for an extension of the public consultation period on the proposed firearm training rules. thefrontrowgazette.co.za/202…

Free SA's Gideon Joubert joined @Makhanya1937 on POWER Talk to discuss why we've called for the deadline for public submissions on the proposed firearm training regulations to be extended. With changes that could make lawful firearm ownership more difficult and more expensive, South Africans deserve a meaningful opportunity to have their say. Listen to the full interview on @Powerfm987 ⬇️ omny.fm/shows/powertalk-arch…

South Africans face some of the highest violent crime rates in the world. For many families, lawful firearm ownership is not a luxury. It is an essential means of self-defence. Government has proposed new firearm training requirements that could make lawful firearm ownership more expensive and more difficult to access, while doing little to deter criminals who ignore firearm laws. Free SA believes firearm training should remain accessible, affordable, and practical, while maintaining the highest standards of safety and competence. Comments close on 4 August 2026.

Cabinet is too big, too expensive, and too unaccountable. "Every rand spent on unnecessary political appointments is a rand that cannot be spent on improving infrastructure, fixing public services, or growing the economy," says Free SA's Gideon Joubert. iol.co.za/thepost/news/2026-…
