Are you fed up with the current constitution standing in the way of reclaiming our land and mineral resources? The DA-led coalition has been using constitutional protections and ANC ambivalence to delay land expropriation and the nationalisation of mineral resources. The ANC’s resolution for nationalisation and land expropriation without compensation has hit hurdles in the government, mainly from the DA’s opposition to nationalisation.
Former judge president of the Western Cape High Court, Hlophe, has expressed his concerns, stating that the current system strips power from the people and governs through an elite judicial system. The MK Party, led by Hlophe, aims to repeal the constitution and return power to the people through parliamentary sovereignty.

MK promises to ensure that decisions about the country’s future are made by the people, without elite interference.
