Today we spoke to the people of South Africa via media and posed the following questions:
1. Is there a need for another political party in South Africa?
2. If yes, what should it be and what values and principles should it espouse?
3. What should distinguish the party from the rest?
4. How should it be funded if agreed?
We ask these questions because our strong conviction and belief is that no individual should start a political party out of their own personal convictions and not collective convictions.
1. A political party should never be an individual personal project.
2. A political party should never be a family project.
3. A political party should never be a tribal project.
4. A political party should never be a regional or provincial project.
5. A political party should never be a platform for self enrichment.
6. A political party must never be a private property.
7. A political party should never be a cult or fiefdom.
On the contrary,
1. A political party must be a fighting instrument and vehicle for the people as a whole.
2. A political party must espouse deep democratic principles and values.
3. A political party must be transparent and accountable to the people.
With this in mind, we will be visiting all corners of South Africa to listen to the people.
Mayibuye iAfrika!
