Newsletter – SA’s future depends on embracing the free market

16 August 2023

The FMF welcomes the Multi-Party Charter's dedication to fostering a market economy that is free and open. Embracing greater freedom translates to increased options for everyday South Africans, heightened competitiveness, and enhanced economic well-being.

"Nearly 30 years into the democratic dispensation, it is abundantly clear to all that the time has come to turn away from the socialist ideas and values that undermine freedom of enterprise and the pursuit of prosperity,"

~ FMF CEO, David Ansara.
