FF Plus doubts that all social aid organisations in Gauteng are once again fully funded after Lesufi’s turnabout
The FF Plus doubts that all social non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Gauteng whose funding was previously reduced by the Gauteng Premier, Panyaza Lesufi, are once again being fully funded by the Gauteng government.

AARTO still a tangle of short circuits to the detriment of motorists
The FF Plus finds it alarming that shortly after the Constitutional Court ruled that the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act (AARTO) is indeed constitutional, more and more evidence indicating that the system is like a tangle of short circuits is coming out. It is to the detriment of motorists, especially because of the […]
AARTO still not enforceable under ANC rule
In the FF Plus’s view, the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) is not enforceable as long as the ANC remains in power. The party believes that the AARTO Act will not achieve what it is meant to, despite the Constitutional Court’s ruling that the Act is indeed constitutional. AARTO’s pilot phase was rolled […]
