How to Join a Political Party in South Africa

becoming a party member

According to the Bill of Rights, every citizen has the following rights:

• Joining a political organisation or recruiting new members

party

• To advocate for a political cause or party.

• To run for public office and take up a position if elected

Voters select political parties to represent them at the federal, state, and local levels under our election system. If their party wins enough votes in the election, they choose the specific candidates who will represent them in Parliament and the provincial legislatures. You must join a political party if you want to be able to influence who runs for office in Parliament or if you want to run for office yourself.

Each party recruits members in a unique manner.

Depending on how your party makes decisions, you might be able to affect the subjects it chooses to emphasise during an election campaign, its candidate list, and its political agenda in Parliament. The likelihood that your party will gain seats in Parliament increases as you are more effective in your campaigning. The more seats your party has, if MPs are executing their duties effectively, the more probable it is that you will hear political opinions in Parliament that you agree with.
