🧵Open Letter to the Minister of Home Affairs, @Leon_Schreib

Concerns about the proposed Digital ID System

Dear Minister Schreiber,

@LexLibertasOnX is a think tank and advocacy group committed to the promotion of basic freedoms and the principles of constitutionalism. In this sense, our central aim is to promote decentralisation and self-governance for the various peoples of South Africa. We also take a stand against particular policy ideas that we believe to be counterproductive to the promotion of decentralised governance.

One such issue is the proposed digital ID system.

We have recently submitted our concerns about the proposed digital ID system to your office, and we have opened a channel through which members of the public could express their concerns. Within days, thousands of people have added their names to our submission. Support for our opposition to the digital ID system is still coming in. For this reason, we will add this to the submission that we already presented to your office at a later stage.

This strong public reaction reflects deep and widespread concern about the direction your Department is taking. While the proposal is presented as a technical improvement aimed at greater efficiency and fraud reduction, we believe it represents something far more serious.

We do not believe that the public should be asked to simply trust that this infrastructure will be secure and free of abuse. The design of the system itself — particularly the mandatory logging of verifications and the broad discretionary powers granted to the Director-General — makes abuse not only possible, but likely over time.

In this sense, there are several concerns that we wish to bring under your immediate attention. We will do so one by one. Thereafter, we will conclude with a list of questions with regard to which we would appreciate your answer.

Do yourself a favor and watch this gripping documentary of farm murders in South Africa.

It goes deep into the depths of hell and what is left in the families hearts after horrific farm murders.

@KTHopkins was one of the first activists to speak up about it and has opened so many eyes to what is happening to our people.

The “fools” built a R300 million Technical College in 15 months and is already building a second university (R3,2 billion - construction started in Jan 2026).

Malema promissed a school now almost 7 years ago. Not a single brick has been laid. Now you tell me who is the fool?

Don’t come here with your nonsense when you have nothing to offer

The Nowak case clearly highlights that we need to stop treating racism as an ~infinite evil, not because Nowak was racist (no evidence of this) but because any time you create a social superweapon like accusations of racism are now, it’ll be misused horribly.

What is racism? Ask 10 people and you’ll get 12 opinions. Historically, it meant someone who treats people badly in interpersonal interactions because of their race. Which is just, like, kinda annoying and slightly boorish. It’s not the apocalypse. There are many personal traits that are equally or more annoying.

Now the definition has been ludicrously expanded to include a bunch of things even less objectionable than that, including belief in very plausible scientific claims and policy preferences that were near-universal for almost all of human history.

Racism just isn’t a big deal. We have to take it off its pedestal. If Nowak had said something racist, it would morally change exactly nothing about the horror of what happened to him. He didn’t, but I feel over-focusing on that distracts from the fact that it wouldn’t matter if he had.

Murder is worse than racism. Hell, shoplifting is worse than racism. Enough. Who cares.

For those who take umbrage at my criticism of the DA I have the following message:
My posts will matter not in the long run, since the DA is and will be the architect of their own demise.
They are solely to blame for alienating once loyal voters, and continue to do so.

DEAR BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS
It is time for you to realise that white people are trying to SAVE SOUTH AFRICA! This 👇 means that a shocking 88% of government funds are being misappropriated!
I repeat... 88%! 🤬
They are using 88% of OUR tax money to support their lavish lifestyles!

AfriForum has today sent a letter to the Johannesburg Society of Advocates (JSA) to request more information regarding the accusations of racial discrimination it faces. This comes after the JSA accused Advocate Mark Oppenheimer of spreading “misinformation” because Oppenheimer claimed that its admissions process is highly racialised and discriminatory.

First, they attack you for noticing.
Second, they say “You’re wrong, it’s not that!”
Third, they say “You’re a bad person if you don’t see it our way”
Fourth, they say “Yes we’re doing that and it’s good!”

These are wicked people who use communication to deceive.

No politicians must be allowed to use private hospitals.
They must be forced to use their own created state hospitals.

One year ago today, I watched in complete disbelief as @POTUS confronted Cyril Ramaphosa right here in the White House Oval Office.

I never expected what happened next. I, and many of us, never saw it coming, but it was glorious. A moment etched into each one of us forever. President Trump pulled off the greatest exposé I have ever seen. He dimmed the lights, played the videos of “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer” chants, flipped through the reports of death after death, and laid bare the brutal reality of what White farmers in South Africa are facing every single day.

I was shocked to my core. Shocked that a sitting US President would stand up so boldly for us when so many others look away or deny the truth. But more than that, I am deeply grateful. Deeply grateful that President Trump refused to fall for Cyril’s lies and empty denials. Cyril came armed with his White delegation; Steenhuisen, Ernie Els, and Johan Rupert, thinking they could back him up and smooth things over. It didn’t work.

And a special well done to Retief Goosen for his bravery in speaking out about the real challenges White farmers endure; the fear, the attacks, the fences, the murdered friends and family. That took real courage in that room.

That moment breathed new life into White South Africans who have felt abandoned and alone for far too long. For decades we have been gaslit by our own government, ignored by the international community, and left to face the farm murders and expropriation threats in silence. President Trump’s stand shattered that isolation. It reminded us that we are not forgotten, that the truth about the targeting of White farmers can still break through the lies, and that real leadership can put the spotlight exactly where it belongs. It gave us renewed hope, renewed determination, and the strength to keep going.

Thank you, President Trump. You stood for us when our own government wouldn’t. We will never, ever forget it. 🙏 🇺🇸 We will never, ever forget YOU.

Henry Nowak’s final words were “I can’t breathe” after he was stabbed and police handcuffed *him* while he bled out on the street.

This is a 10,000x worse than George Floyd.

Why hasn’t CNN, NYT, or WaPo covered this story?
