DIRCO’s The Hague Group further alienates the West
DIRCO’s decision to join its unsavoury partners in The Hague Group in accusing Israel of human rights violations and demanding action – at a time when the United States and Israel are engaged in a war against Iran – is unwise and irresponsible. In times of war, geopolitical dividing lines are drawn more sharply, and […]
Lekota was a key figure in South African politics for a long time
Mr. Mosiuoa Lekota, former leader of COPE who passed away today, was a key figure in South African politics for many years. As chairperson of the ANC, he headed the dissolution of the NNP and the party’s subsequent merger with the ANC – an unthinkable development for many Afrikaners for whom the NP had been […]
The time has come for Ramaphosa to say where he stands with the Afrikaner
(Freedom Front Plus’s reply to SONA 2026) The time has come for President Cyril Ramaphosa to look Afrikaners in the eye and clearly articulate where he stands with them.

Much like Zuma’s SONA in 2014, President Ramaphosa tries to tell a “good story”, while country collapses
President Cyril Ramaphosa borrowed a page from former President Jacob Zuma’s 2014 State of the Nation Address (SONA) tonight by boasting about the country’s “good story”. President Ramaphosa delivered his speech in his capacity as President of South Africa, but he remains President of the ANC. And wherever his party governs – in councils, provinces […]
It may be wishful thinking, but this is what the Freedom Front Plus would like to hear from President Ramaphosa in his SONA
Expecting a State of the Nation Address (SONA) prioritising the people of South Africa’s interests above those of the ANC is surely wishful thinking, but it remains crucial and the only way to get the country back on the right track. So, tomorrow evening with the SONA, the Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) would particularly […]
Graaff-Reinet will always be Graaff-Reinet to the Freedom Front Plus
Graaff-Reinet will always be Graaff-Reinet – and not Robert Sobukwe Town – to the Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus). The party, therefore, calls on the people of Graaff-Reinet, the broader Eastern Cape and the rest of South Africa to ignore the name change. This geographical name change along with 20 others – such as East […]
Freedom Front Plus’s growth not due to other parties’ problems
The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) notes the impending resignation of the current DA leader, Mr John Steenhuisen, and wishes him all the best for the future. This development makes it important to point out that the Freedom Front Plus’s significant and sustained growth – for which the party is deeply grateful – is not […]
DIRCO’s expulsion of Israeli diplomat yet another unilateral step harming South Africa’s interests
The decision by the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) to order Israel’s chargé d’affaires to leave the country within 72 hours is further proof of the ANC’s unilateral and detrimental conduct, which is not serving South Africa’s best interests. The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) is stunned by the decision to declare Mr […]
ANC’s destructive foreign policy has to be stopped before it pushes South Africa over the edge
The ANC can no longer keep pushing South Africa and its people over the edge of economic and moral ruin with its risky and provocative foreign policy. It is time for the partners in the Government of National Unity (GNU) to take a stand against it. Therefore, the Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) will formally […]
