Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox political party African Democratic Change (ADeC) is a South African political party. It was launched on 1 December 2017 by former African National Congress Member of Parliament, Makhosi Khoza.[1] Khoza resigned from the party in April 2018.[2] The party is currently led by Visvin Reddy.[3]
Formation
Makhosi Khoza resigned as an African National Congress Member of Parliament on 21 September 2017 to join the effort against corruption in South Africa.[4] Her resignation came after months of her criticizing ANC President Jacob Zuma and calling for him to step down.[5] After the announcement, it became speculative that Khoza would form a new political party.[6] Initial reports in November 2017, suggested that Khoza would name her new political party "Change".[7] The African Democratic Change (ADeC) was launched on 1 December 2017.[8] Khoza was adamant that her new party would not collapse.[9]
After the launch, the African National Congress criticized Khoza for making the ADeC logo look similar to the African National Congress logo. Khoza dismissed these claims.[10]
In April 2018, four months after the launch of the party, Khoza stepped down as party leader.[11] Party chairperson, Moses Mayekiso, succeeded her as leader.[12]
Election results
The party contested the 2019 South African general election on the national and provincial ballot,[13] and entered into a partnership with the Dagga Party.[14]
It failed to win any seats.
The party is contesting the 2021 South African municipal elections. In October 2021, it suspended one of its candidates, Wayne Solomon, after a voice note surfaced of him discussing sexual acts with minor girls, aged six, nine and sixteen.[15]
