TUESDAY, 5.30PM
A JOINT committee of the National Consultative Forum, led by Bantu Holomisa, and the New Movement Process, led by Roelf Meyer, on Tuesday announced a new political party will be launched on September 27.
In a statement from Johannesburg the committee said it believes the formation of the new political party is long overdue. The joint committee said it met on Monday and Tuesday to take forward the consultative process between the two movements.
“The meeting has recognised the need among many South Africans for genuine multiparty democracy and a spirit of true South Africanism to be the guiding lights in our politics,” the statement said.
A preparatory committee was established to make arrangements for the proposed launch.
