About Us

Sakeliga is an independent non-profit company with a mission to restore economic order

About Us

Sakeliga was founded in 2011 when a group of business leaders decided an organisation was needed to resist harmful state economic intervention.

Today, Sakeliga is recognised as a premier litigant on commercial matters in the public interest.

We have thousands of committed funding partners, a growing business chamber network across the country and have produced substantial economic benefits for businesses and the communities they serve.

Our name 'Sakeliga' is inspired by the famous trading alliance 'The Hanseatic League', or in German 'Hansaliga', that established a centuries-long prosperous economic order across northern Europe. "Sake" is the Afrikaans word for business.

Our network of funders and partners is a league - an alliance - of businesses standing together to restore and strengthen economic order for a flourishing society.

The more severe state failure becomes, the more courts can lend recognition to business-based alternatives in the public interest.
