Have you heard about the Land Party yet? We're the new political kid on the block packing a powerful political punch in the name of ALL the people of our beautiful country. Our primary mission is to reform and open up our economy, with the help and input of leading South African economists like Dawie Roodt.
We believe in a people's dictatorship and democratic centralism to ensure that every person in South Africa, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, cultural background or even political line of thought, has a say in how our country should be led.
To hear more about our plans for the country, you are cordially invited to attend our Manifesto Launch on 21 March 2019 from 10:00 am. We are expecting at least 5000 Land Party supporters from all over the country to fill the Zwelihle Stadium in Hermanus.
You are also invited to interview the Land Party Chief Leader, Gcobani Ndzongana about our manifesto by calling him directly on 081 513 2653, or our National Spokesperson, Mandy Owens on 082 336 4295.
Visit our website at www.landparty.org.za to find out more about who we are and what we stand for.
Once you've heard our manifesto, you'll realise what a serious contender we will be in the upcoming elections. Our support across the country is growing phenomenally every day, and if you haven't heard of us yet, you will soon!
For a taste of what our manifesto has to offer, here is the foreword as transcribed from our Chief Leader, Gcobani Ndzongana:
After 25 years of democracy, our people continue to suffer under the so called 'new dawn'. The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer, and government has been so busy lining its pockets it doesn't seem to care. Thanks to generations of slavery, colonialism, apartheid and corruption (all systems driven by Capitalism), the divide between the rich and the poor is deepening. The majority of South Africans are stuck in a downward spiral. The poor are living in inhumane conditions with no services and with children going hungry; the working class are in debt, being exploited and struggling through life; and even the 'middle-class' are slaves to financial commitments, high taxes and materialistic aspirations that they cannot escape. South Africa is deteriorating daily. The majority of people in South Africa are sitting around doing nothing in abject poverty with no hope or they're working long and hard for minimal reward. The people who were supposed to govern our new democracy, who were entrusted with improving the lives of the people, who were tasked with growing the country into the South Africa of our dreams, have let us down terribly. It is time for some serious change. It is time for discipline. It is time for people to be productive. It is time for wealth to be shared equitably. It is time for people to have Land. It is time for government to be held vigilantly accountable. It is time for the youth to have hope. It is time for people to be responsible citizens. It is time for power to be in the hands of the people. This election is a make or break election for South Africa. It is imperative that every registered voter votes. It has never been more important for people to make an informed decision about where they're going to put their mark on the ballot paper than it is now. South Africa needs to vote for change. We cannot simply vote for who we've always voted for or who our parents vote for or even for the party that best matches our personal political ideal. We need to vote for South Africa. So yes, this election is about what sort of country we want South Africa to be. Is it a country where the majority of our people are held back by the sheer struggle caused by the empty rhetoric and empty promises of the ruling elites? NO! It needs to be a country where everybody is safe, secure, comfortable and happy, where everybody has a range of options available to them that enable them to live rewarding and worthwhile lives, with dignity. Let’s build a South Africa where we invest our wealth in such a way that it gives everyone the chance to prosper. It was this time last year, in 2018, when women and men in Zwelihle, Hermanus took it upon themselves to take to the streets and fight for land and better living conditions, and succeeded. This was a historic moment in our country and the beginning of the first successful land revolution in the history of South Africa. It also led to the birth of the Land Party. The newly elected Central Committee of the Land Party held its first plenum from 23 to 24 February 2019. This meeting re-established an ideological line of ‘seeking truth from facts’. It decided to shift the focus from political movement to economic development. This laid the foundation for reforming and opening up. We all agreed that South Africa must open up to international trade and investment. Domestic economic development and participation in economic globalisation must march forward hand in hand. Without even holding any official office, the Land Party has already delivered tangible results to the communities it serves because it is led by people and not politicians. It is the only party that truly puts the power in the hands of the people. It is the only party that offers solutions for the real, radical change needed to afford every single person in South Africa the opportunity to get on in life. We need to get to work. We need to reform and open up. It is not going to be easy, but it is going to be worth it. Vote for the Land Party and take control of your own destiny. It is time for the people to govern. Chief Leader Gcobani Ndzongana
