OUR CORE PRINCIPLES

INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY

We believe that a just society depends upon the freedom of individuals and voluntary communities to govern their own lives.

PRIVATE PROPERTY

We believe that everyone must have the freedom to acquire, enjoy, and dispose of property, and that these rights should be secure and enforceable.

FREE ENTERPRISE

We believe that everyone must be free to trade, compete, or cooperate with others, and that the pursuit of profit is the greatest driver of human prosperity.

LIMITED GOVERNMENT

We believe that government must be constitutionally constrained in its scope and power, and that its duty is to protect individual liberty and private property.

WELCOME TO THE FMF

Our mission is to promote and defend the principles of individual liberty, private property, free enterprise, and limited government in southern Africa.
