We make a difference

The People’s Manifesto departs from the ineffective political norm of seeing problems in isolation when they are systemic and manifest across different sectors and points of impact.

NATIONAL

We are a capable, solution-oriented organisation. We value equality, people centricity and practice listening daily.

PROVINCIAL

We are diverse and inclusive, we leave no one behind. We collaborate with active citizens from all walks of life and hold ourselves accountable to our national vision and mission.

LOCAL

We are building a social community structure, that is accessible, trustworthy and reliable. We act in small ways every day, to intentionally and sustainably improve the lot of ordinary South Africans

INDIVIDUAL

I am empathetic to my fellow South Africans and would like to help work towards the South Africa we all deserve.
