The IRR will this week launch Land, Lives & Liberty: A five-point plan to save rural SA, a policy document presenting a simple set of solutions to make sure South Africans living in rural areas can thrive and fulfil their ambitions to #LiveFree in a peaceful and prosperous country.
 
The IRR will be hosting three online briefings on the topic this week, with the first at 1pm today.
 
The policy document will be published online on Saturday 19 September to coincide with the release of a short-form documentary, Land, Lives & Liberty, produced by the IRR.
 
Security of the person is the basis of any peaceful and prosperous society. A fundamental element of Land, Lives & Liberty is, therefore, the ability of South Africans to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their property.
 
Today, in the first of the three online briefings, IRR deputy head of policy research Hermann Pretorius will be chatting to firearms activist Gideon Joubert about personal and family safety and how self-defence is a vital part of rural safety and security.
 
Details of the first briefing are:
Time: 13h00
Date: Today/15 September
