National Freedom Party

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Freedom Party (NFP; German for example: "National Freedom Party") is a party in South Africa .

history

The NFP was founded on January 25, 2011 by Zanele kaMagwaza-Msibi and other former members of the Zulu- dominated Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP). KaMagwaza-Msibi, who had previously been IFP chair for five years, became the first chair. In the 2011 local elections, the party received 2.4% nationwide and 10.4% in KwaZulu-Natal .

In the parliamentary elections in 2014 , the party ran with kaMagwaza-Msibi as the top candidate. It received 1.57% of the vote nationwide - mainly at the expense of the IFP - and thus six of the 400 seats in the National Assembly . She was given a seat in the Provincial Legislature of KwaZulu-Natal, and thus the seat of a special delegate in the National Council of Provinces . However , the NFP did not achieve its goal of creating the official opposition in KwaZulu-Natal . The party was not allowed to participate in the 2016 local elections due to a lack of payments. In the 2019 elections in South Africa , the NFP lost the majority of its votes and only achieved two seats in the national parliament and one seat in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Assembly.

Program and organization

The NFP is committed to the South African Constitution and aims of its program of economic strengthening ( empowerment ) of South Africans and a "meaningful execution of the services" on.

The NFP is based in Durban . The NFP also has provincial representations outside of KwaZulu-Natal. There is an NFP women's organization ( NFP Women's Movement ) and a youth organization ( NFP Youth Movement ). The party color is orange.
