African People’s Socialist Party

General information

The African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) was formed and formally registered on the 21 January 2015. It was formed to fulfill a historic mission in the political landscape of a free and democratic South Africa. It was formed to be a political home of the ordinary people and to bring their issues into the mainstream of South African politics. The political elite of this Country have taken our people for a ride for over 20 years using them as voting cattle but completely forgetting about them when they step into the corridors of power and wealth. There is no any other relationship between the electorate and the elected politicians other than voting itself and the APSP seeks to change that phenomenon and build a political relationship between the elected public representatives and the ordinary people. Since the advent of democracy in1994 hitherto there has been no political party that had the political will and courage to take that route and the APSP is here to take the Route less Travelled. We want to bring a new dimension into the political landscape in our Country – We want to come as a game changer. We want to change this “Cat and Mouse Relationship” between the elected public representatives and the voting public. That is why the APSP is firmly built on the revolutionary principles of Popular Consultation and Popular Participation for Popular Democracy. Ours is a warm and fraternal relationship with the masses of our people – our relationship with our people is described as that of “Crocodile and Water”.
