Made up of the DA, IFP, FF Plus, ActionSA and others, South Africa’s Multiparty Charter has drafted its manifesto. In it, the coalition explains how it plans to reduce unemployment and poverty by improving education, creating conditions for economic growth and global competitiveness.
The plan was presented by ActionSA’s Herman Mashaba in Durban in this week, reports TimesLive. The parties represent the biggest alternative political bloc to the ANC ever, and have a pact to combine their electoral wins. And these are their agreed-upon principles.

“The ANC’s mismanagement of our economy is not only reflected in our unemployment, which stands at 41.2%, but also in the pain South African households experience with the ever-rising cost of living. Our plan adopts a two-pronged approach which focuses on fostering the creation of conditions conducive to economic growth while simultaneously growing the skills base of our workforce,” Mashaba said.
