Our 10 Plans

View our plans in: English, Afrikaans or isiZulu

1. Cash in Transit Heists

Most people think the way to fix these is better policing and more secure vehicles.

We believe fixing Cash In Transit Heists is as simple as amending a law that makes it difficult for us to be a cash free society.

When elected, we will push for this to be made law.

2. Beneficiation of Mineral Wealth

Why do we ship our gold and diamonds to India and China instead of turning it into jewellery ourselves.

The answer, and the way to fix it, is as simple as amending a law from the colonial era.

When elected, we will push for this change to be made law.

3. Fixing our schools

We have the most expensive education system in the world but very poor levels of education. How do we start to fix this without simply throwing money at the problem?

We have a simple solution that is inexpensive and also has many positive social consequences.

When elected, we will push for these changes to be made law.

4. Increasing tourism

We want to enjoy the benefit of wealthy tourists who can boost our economy.

But our visa requirements for people from the rest of Africa as well as places like China and India are so stringent that many people just take their money to other places, like Kenya and Tanzania.

Our fix is simple and costs nothing. When elected, we will push for this to be made law.

5. Improving Policing

We all know policing in our country is a mess. This simple idea will immediately raise the quality of our policing, and it costs nothing.

When elected, we will push for this to be made law.

6. School Toilets

Children are dying in pit latrines at public schools all over our country. We have no excuse for not fixing this.

Government wants R10 billion to fix it over ten years. We know how to fix this for less than 1/10th of the cost, plus we can do this in six months or less.

When elected, we will push for this to be made law.

7. Violence against women

Every year, our government runs a campaign called "16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children". Millions are spent, but the number of women and girls assaulted, raped, murdered grows larger every year.

We believe the solution is to equip women from the time they are at school to learn how to better defend themselves.

When elected, we will push for these changes to be made law.

8. Matric Dropouts

Every year, more than half a million learners drop out before they write matric.

Government is clueless about why this happens but we know why this happens; and we know how to fix this.

It will take many years, but we need to start now.

When elected, we will push for these changes to be made law.

9. Solving the drug problem

Illegal drugs are destroying our families and breaking down our communities.

Where drugs become a problem, violent crimes such as robbery and killings increase.

We have a plan to fix this which has been proven to work.

When elected, we will push to make this law.

10. Negative income tax

What are we going to do to fix the economy? We have one core proposal. A Negative Income Tax (NIT) is a fair way of creating a single tax system that pays for government, but also fulfils the social goal of a minimum level of income for all.

Negative Income Tax increases availability of low-cost labour which allows businesses to do locally some of the work which they would otherwise have to outsource to other countries. As an example, this would make our textile industry competitive with Chinese imports. It will also help us when job losses increase when the 4th Industrial Revolution hits us.

When elected, we will push for this policy to be made law.
