South Africa has made significant progress in many ways since 1994. But, our country is now at a crucial crossroads.

Constitutional and democratic institutions are under threat, as highlighted by the Constitutional Court’s Nkandla ruling. More than 8.2 million South Africans do not have a job, inflation is putting the most basic goods out of the reach of the majority of South Africans, the economy is suffering and we face a credit rating downgrade.

Corruption and empty promises are holding us back. This makes the 2016 Local Government Election the most crucial election since 1994.
