Agang South Africa is a South African political party, formed by anti-apartheid activist Mamphela Ramphele on 18 February 2013,[2][3] although the party claims on its website that it was founded on 22 June 2013,[4] which was the date of the party's first official congress.[5][6][7]

The party encourages reforms towards direct governance, striving to "build a stronger democracy in which citizens will be at the centre of public life";[8] and intends to challenge the governing African National Congress in the 2014 general election.[9] Agang is a Sotho–Tswana word meaning "let us build".[10]

History

On 28 January 2014, the Democratic Alliance (DA) announced that Ramphele had accepted an invitation to stand as its presidential candidate in the 2014 general election,[11][12][13] and the DA and Agang were set to merge.[14][15] On 31 January 2014, Ramphele stated that she would not take up DA party membership and would remain the leader of Agang, resulting in confusion.[16] On 2 February 2014, Helen Zille stated that Ramphele had reneged on her agreement to stand as the DA's presidential candidate.[17] Ramphele subsequently apologised for the reversal of her decision, saying that the timing was not right as the reaction to it had shown people were unable to overcome race-based party politics.[18] On 9 February 2014, following statements by Helen Zille that donor funding issues were behind the failed merger, Ramphele named business magnate Nathan Kirsh as a funder of Agang and said he would continue to fund the new party.[19][20]

In the 2014 election, the party received 52,350 votes, or 0.28% of the total, and won two seats in the National Assembly of South Africa.[21] Following internal conflict within the party, Ramphele announced her withdrawal from politics on 8 July 2014.[1][22]
