FOR SA (Freedom of Religion South Africa) is a legal advocacy organisation working to protect and promote the constitutional right to religious freedom in South Africa. We do this by engaging with government on policies, and making submissions to Parliament on draft legislation, that may negatively impact on religious freedom. We also appear – as a “friend of the court” or principal party – before government commissions and the Courts (including the Constitutional Court) in cases affecting religious freedom. For many people of faith, the laws and policies that are proposed increasingly make the State (rather than the sacred tenets of their faith) the highest authority on what they should believe, These can even overrule they believe they should express or act according to their beliefs. Many of these laws subscribe to a secular liberalist world-view and as such, are in direct conflict with faith and family values.

Our motto is “For Faith & Freedom!”

FEDSAS supports the principle that governing bodies play an important role in creating opportunities for all learners to enable them to reach their full potential. FEDSAS supports the preservation and promotion of a culture of excellence in teaching, education and service delivery. FEDSAS is continuously striving to establish and build healthy relationships with all stakeholders in education in order to serve the best interests of learners. FEDSAS has sound experience of education issues. As an active, dynamic organisation, we stay informed about changes and restructuring in education and we can advise our members accordingly.
