The GOOD party will launch our 2024 Election Manifesto, in Johannesburg, on Saturday 16 March 2024 ahead of the national and provincial general elections which will take place on 29 May 2024.

The GOOD leadership will set out our vision and plan for solutions to the triple crisis of poverty, unemployment, and low economic growth. 

These elections will be our second general election after we were established in February 2019 and then contested the 2019 election just 3 months later. 

Despite a late start, GOOD was one of two new parties, that contested the 2019 elections, to get enough support to win two seats in the National Assembly and enter the Western Cape Provincial Legislature. 

In the 2021 Local Government Election we contested only 40 municipalities which saw 51 GOOD councillors elected in four provinces.

We have continued to show significant growth in members and supporters, as is evident in the various by-election outcomes.

With this success comes responsibility, and we must always remember what drove us to form GOOD: to serve the people of South Africa. 

The problems that our new democracy inherited in 1994 were vast and complex, and we must not underestimate the difficulty of transformation. 

But 30 years later, despite some progress made in South Africa, it has not been enough, and more could have been done. 

We have unfinished business - and GOOD is stepping forward to serve. 

GOOD is stepping forward and will participate in elections to fight for social justice, spatial justice, economic justice, and environmental justice.

In order to share our new manifesto with as many South Africans as possible, the launch will once again be presented online, as we did in 2019, with the broadcast taking place from Liliesleaf farm in Rivonia.

Further details for media attendance at the launch will be communicated in due course.
