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.

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.

🚨 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.

South Africa doesn't have a capacity problem. It has a government size problem.

The Constitution currently allows the President to appoint an unlimited number of Cabinet Ministers, creating opportunities for political accommodation, duplication, waste, and rising costs to taxpayers.

Free SA is calling for a constitutional amendment to cap the number of Cabinet Ministers, ensuring a leaner, more accountable, and more effective government focused on service delivery, not political patronage.
