Whites in squatter camps
South Africa Today also supports the Mkadesh Farm Project. The project is to help poor Afrikaner families and build homes for them on donated farmland. The families will also farm to become self sustainable.
A new project saw that South Africa Today aided a non profit charity called Boere Gemeenskap Transvaal. Boere Gemeenskap Transvaal charity distributes donations that they collected to 17 squatter camps in the Gauteng province. These squatter camps are mostly made out of poor Afrikaner people. They rely on donations of food, clothes, toiletries and financial donations to support the 17 squatter camps.

Petition to charge Jacob Zuma
On 13 January 2015 South Africa Today joined forces with Front National and other social media sites in an online petition to prepare for charges against president Jacob Zuma. The crimes include: Hate Speech, Racism, Denial of Basic Human Rights of minorities and Incitement to Genocide. The petition began after Zuma made bold statements at the African National Congress's 103rd birthday celebrations against a certain part (mainly South Africans of European descent) of South Africa's population. These statements include "Jan van Riebeeck's arrival in Cape Town was the beginning of all South Africa's problems." President Zuma also said "They fought us wherever they found us." The word "THEY" is used to exclude or alienate a minority of the population of South Africa purely based on their skin colour. South Africa Today assisted with collecting petition votes which will be handed over to Front National (South Africa) for formal charges against president Jacob Zuma and presented at the ICC International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands and the United Nations in New York. South Africa Today alone collected more than 15000 signatures.
