The Truth and Solidarity Movement’s rights have been stolen.

# OFFICIAL POLICY STATEMENT
## TRUTH AND SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT
### PUT THE PEOPLE FIRST: CLEAN FOOD, CLEAN WATER, DIGNITY AND ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE

**Founded on the principle that leadership must serve the people, not corporations, political elites or private interests.**

The Truth and Solidarity Movement believes that South Africa must start addressing the issues that directly affect ordinary people: their health, food, water, livelihoods, dignity and economic future.

People are struggling to survive. Families are battling rising food prices, unemployment and poverty. But alongside these challenges, South Africans also deserve confidence that the food they eat and the water they drink meet the highest possible safety standards.

We believe these issues deserve urgent national attention.

### 1. CLEAN FOOD AND RESPONSIBLE AGRICULTURE

South Africans deserve access to healthy, affordable and safe food.

TRUTH calls for:
- Stronger regulation and independent testing of pesticides and agricultural chemicals.
- Greater transparency about genetically modified crops and food products.
- Proper assessment of the long-term environmental and health impacts of agricultural practices.
- Protection of indigenous seeds and the rights of farmers to preserve and exchange traditional seed varieties.
- Stronger action against harmful pesticide use and unsafe farming practices.
- Support for local farmers producing nutritious, affordable food.

Our position is simple: agricultural innovation must never come before public health, environmental protection and consumer rights.

### 2. SAFE DRINKING WATER

Clean drinking water is a fundamental human necessity.

TRUTH calls for transparent, independent testing of South Africa's drinking water and public access to water-quality reports.

We also demand an open, science-based national discussion about water fluoridation, including its benefits, potential risks and appropriate safety standards.

No chemical should be added to public water supplies without transparent scientific assessment, proper regulation and public accountability.

### 3. INCREASE SOCIAL GRANTS AND PROTECT THE VULNERABLE

Our elderly citizens and people living with disabilities deserve dignity.

TRUTH calls for a meaningful review of SASSA grants to ensure that elderly and disabled South Africans can afford basic necessities, including food, electricity, transport and healthcare.

A country must be judged by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens.

### 4. BUILD A MULTILINGUAL SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa's linguistic diversity must become a source of unity rather than division.

We want every South African to have greater opportunities to learn and communicate in the languages of fellow citizens.

TRUTH supports:
- Greater access to all official South African languages in schools.
- Multilingual public services.
- Government communication in languages communities understand.
- Language-exchange programmes that bring communities together.

Imagine a South Africa where a young person from the Western Cape can communicate confidently with someone from Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape or Mpumalanga.

Language can build bridges between our people.

### 5. PROTECT DIGITAL RIGHTS AND PERSONAL FREEDOM

South Africans must have a meaningful voice in decisions concerning digital identity systems and the use of personal information.

TRUTH calls for:
- Strong protection of personal data.
- Transparency in government digital identity programmes.
- Independent oversight of digital identification systems.
- Protection against surveillance and misuse of personal information.
- Accessible alternatives for citizens who cannot use digital services.

Technology must serve humanity. People must not become prisoners of technology.

### 6. BUILD SOUTH AFRICAN INDUSTRY AND ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE

## OFFICIAL LETTER TO PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA
### RE: 3.5% SALARY INCREASE FOR POLITICAL OFFICE-BEARERS – A MATTER OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY

**To:** His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa
**From:** Truth and Solidarity Movement
**Subject: Ministers' Salary Increases While Ordinary South Africans Face Economic Hardship**

The Truth and Solidarity Movement expresses serious concern over the reported approval of a 3.5% salary increase for South Africa's political office-bearers, backdated to 1 April 2026.

At a time when millions of South Africans are battling unemployment, poverty, rising living costs, food insecurity and the inability to meet basic household expenses, the reported additional R97,725 per year for ministers raises important questions about priorities in government.

How can ordinary workers be expected to tighten their belts while those entrusted with public leadership receive substantial additional remuneration?

A mother struggling to put food on the table cannot simply approve herself a salary increase. An unemployed graduate cannot vote themselves a monthly income. A pensioner cannot increase their grant when electricity, transport and groceries become more expensive.

Yet decisions affecting political salaries are made within government structures while ordinary citizens continue to carry the economic burden.

**Public office is a responsibility, not a privilege detached from the suffering of the people.**

We call on the Presidency and Parliament to provide the public with:

1. A full explanation of the financial implications of these salary increases.
2. Transparency regarding the process and recommendations behind the decision.
3. An explanation of how the increase is justified against the economic circumstances facing ordinary households.
4. A public account of what government is doing to improve the living conditions of struggling South Africans.

The people of South Africa deserve leadership that is accountable, transparent and responsive to their daily struggles.

The country cannot continue to have one standard of economic sacrifice for ordinary citizens and another for those occupying positions of political power.

**The dignity of an ordinary South African must matter as much as the remuneration of a minister.**

# MEDIA STATEMENT
**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

## TRUTH CONDEMNS ALLEGED PHYSICAL ATTACK ON ITS WARD 113 COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE IN JOHANNESBURG

The Truth and Solidarity Movement is deeply disturbed by reports that our Ward 113 councillor candidate in the City of Johannesburg was allegedly physically assaulted at a voting station.

We regard these allegations as extremely serious. No political party, individual or organisation has the right to use violence, intimidation or threats against candidates participating in democratic elections.

Our candidate has reportedly been hospitalised following the incident. We further confirm that criminal charges have been opened, and we call on the South African Police Service to investigate the matter urgently and impartially.

**Elections must be decided by the people through their votes, not through intimidation and violence.**

We demand:

1. An urgent and thorough SAPS investigation.
2. Accountability for everyone found responsible.
3. Protection for all candidates, election officials and voters.
4. Immediate attention from the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC).
5. A safe and peaceful environment at every voting station.

We will not accept political violence as part of South Africa's democratic process.

We call on all political organisations to respect the democratic rights of every candidate and voter, regardless of political affiliation.

**Democracy must never become a battlefield.**

# MEDIA STATEMENT
**TRUTH AND SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT**

### DEMAND FOR URGENT INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGATIONS OF FIREARMS SUPPLY TO THE CAPE FLATS

The Truth and Solidarity Movement expresses serious concern over allegations reportedly made by DA Councillor Sebbi Petersen concerning Cape Coloured Congress representative Larry Varrie and the alleged supply of firearms to communities on the Cape Flats.

These are extremely serious allegations that cannot simply be ignored.

The Truth and Solidarity Movement calls on the South African Police Service (SAPS), the relevant firearms investigation units and other law-enforcement authorities to:

1. Launch an urgent, thorough and independent investigation into these allegations.
2. Establish whether there is any credible evidence linking Larry Varrie to the alleged supply or distribution of illegal firearms.
3. Investigate the origin, movement and intended recipients of any firearms connected to the allegations.
4. Ensure that anyone found to be involved in criminal activity is arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law.

**OUR POSITION IS CLEAR:**

If evidence establishes that Larry Varrie has been involved in supplying illegal firearms, we demand that he be arrested and brought before the courts without delay.

However, nobody should be declared guilty before the investigation has been completed and the evidence tested through the proper legal process.

The people of the Cape Flats deserve safety, accountability and protection from gun violence. Our communities have suffered enough from shootings, gangsterism and the devastating consequences of illegal firearms.

We cannot allow serious allegations involving firearms to disappear without answers.

We demand transparency, accountability and justice.
