Free Speech Union South Africa

The FSU SA will promote free speech and criticise when it is being threatened.

To this end we:

• Promote how crucial freedom of speech is to sustaining a healthy democracy;
• Criticise and oppose efforts to restrict free speech;
• Educate and inform about the right to free speech and the obligations it imposes;
• Offer formal and informal talks and webinars about free speech to individuals, businesses and schools;
• Try to advise and assist in the event that your right to speak freely is limited or challenged by any person/s, institution or media platform;
• Recommend specialists who may be able to assist you.

We currently issue press releases, write letters, op-eds and articles, give interviews in on radio and television, and produce a podcast entitled Free Speech Matters.

“Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom - and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech.” - Benjamin Franklin
