South Africa requires a new dispensation that shall appoint government officials based on merit. Where the justice system receives immediate attention, and our collapsing infrastructure is fixed as soon as possible. A new dispensation which will engage with the Southern African Development Community (SADC) with the view to close ranks, to make sure this region is not targeted as a dumping-zone to protect our economies. We need a new dispensation that views foreign policy through the lens of national interest.

The United Democratic Movement (UDM) is a social democratic party with a strong moral sense, in both the social and economic areas. We advocate for a dispensation where our people can become wealth creators in their own right, so that there is less dependence on government. But that government must do more to create a conducive environment for our people to thrive.
