A Path to True Independence Through Strategic Sovereignty
South Africa's problems run deeper than any single political party. For centuries, our economic system has been designed to benefit a privileged few while leaving the majority behind.
Apartheid ended politically in 1994, but economic liberation remains unfinished business. Today's control mechanisms are more sophisticated: structural adjustment programs, conditional loans, asymmetric trade agreements, and resource contracts that ensure our wealth continues flowing outward.
The trap isn't about which party governs—it's about the external economic architecture that constrains every government's choices. Until we restructure these fundamental relationships, we're simply managing our own exploitation rather than ending it.
True freedom means economic independence. Our plan is straightforward: achieve complete sovereignty in four critical sectors starting from the first five years.
The state will play an active role through direct investment, incentives, subsidies, and strategic interventions to drive the country towards self-reliance. Critical pillars of the economy cannot be completely owned by the private sector—whether local or international.
Countries like Norway, Singapore, Rwanda, South Korea, and Vietnam achieved prosperity by prioritizing sovereignty over blind adherence to global market orthodoxy.
This is how we build a South Africa that works for South Africans—not for foreign shareholders or local elites who profit from our continued dependence.
