Welcome to the South
African Free and Critical Thinkers Association homepage. This
site is dedicated to promoting a true "African Rennaisance" -
an environment for scepticism and freethought. Hopefully the site
will be used as a forum to air ideas, opinions and for debate. The
world is oblivious to the widespread dissemination of ignorance and
Africa, I'm afraid, is no exception. FACT aims to provide a
common sceptical alliance for the total discouragement of
anti-intellectualism, pseudo-science, religious fanaticism and
thought-control.
