Dagga Party, formally known as Iqela Lentsango: The Dagga Party of South Africa, is a South African political party founded in 2009 by Jeremy Acton, who remains the party's leader. "Dagga" is a South African colloquial term for cannabis, the legalisation of which forms the core of the party's platform.[1] The Dagga Party was established to allow voters who support the legalisation of dagga to have representation in elections.[2]
The party failed to register with the Independent Electoral Commission in order to contest the 2014[3] and the 2019 South African general election because it could not raise the required R200,000 registration fee.[4][5] However, the party entered into an alliance with African Democratic Change for 2019.[6]
The party's position is that cannabis users should have the same rights as people who use tobacco and alcohol.[7]
Some members of the party were responsible for bringing the case before a South African court which resulted in the partial decriminalisation of dagga in South Africa in 2018.[8]
