Formidable new change party coming, says Khoza
FORMER ANC MP Makhosi Khoza is back in politics – in a new political party to be unveiled later this week.
The outspoken Khoza joined a march by security guards to the City of Ekurhuleni offices in Germiston yesterday demanding the absorption of the workers into the council.
Khoza has received endorsement from the African Security Congress (ASC)‚ a political party formed by security guards across the country‚ to lead the new political formation.
Speaking after the march‚ Khoza said she had tried to take a short break after resigning from parliament but various organisations had approached her asking for her leadership.
“All these people came to me to say, ‘we want you to come and lead us, we want you to come and merge the different formations so we can have a big formidable force to take down the ANC in 2019’,” she said
“People are tired of corruption‚ losing jobs‚ going to bed without food, of destitution and hopelessness. This country is going to see something new, something it has never seen before.
“You will see a lot of political parties forming this change party, and this change party is really about nothing else but sending out a message that we cannot compromise on moral and ethical leaders.
“There is no way we can get development in this country for as long as we are standing on an immoral platform. Corruption is costing our people jobs. “We want change now.” Khoza said about 16 organisations would be part of the new political organisation.
Among them were the ASC‚ Forum for Service Delivery‚ United Front of Civics‚ Metsimaholo Civic Association‚ and a substantial number of members of the National Freedom Party in KwaZulu-Natal.
A national founding conference would be held on Friday and Saturday in Johannesburg. –
