Foundation for Rights of Expression and Equality

Your Voice. Your Power. Your South Africa.

FREE SA was founded to ensure that democracy remains a system for the people, by the people. Our mission is to advocate for a transparent, accountable government that respects the voices of all citizens.

What drives us

A vision for democracy

South Africa’s democracy belongs to all its people—not just those in power. At FREE SA, we’re driven by the belief that every South African has the right to influence the decisions that shape their future. Our mission is to create a country where government acts with transparency and citizens are equipped to participate meaningfully in public life. 

How we empower change

How we make South Africans’ voices heard

Every South African has the right to voice their opinion on the policies and laws that shape our lives. Through strategic campaigns, we make it easier for you to engage with Parliament, influence bills, and push for policies that reflect the will of the people. Whether it’s through petitions, public meetings, or digital platforms, we provide the tools and opportunities to amplify your voice.

Advocacy for accountability

FREE SA goes beyond words

We write to Parliament and government officials on issues of public concern, draft expert submissions to challenge harmful bills and propose constructive solutions, and file PAIA (Promotion of Access to Information Act) applications to expose hidden truths and ensure transparency in government operations. When necessary, we take legal action to hold the government accountable for failing to respect citizens’ rights. Through our advocacy, we ensure that South Africans are not ignored but are respected as active participants in the democratic process.

Stay informed. Stay empowered.
