Introduction by the President

South Africa needs a new direction in local government. Our communities deserve municipalities that work, leaders who listen and public resources that are used for the benefit of the people.

The National Restoration Party was established with a clear mission: to Restore, Rebuild and Renew South Africa.

We believe that every citizen deserves dignity, opportunity, quality basic services, safe communities, decent roads, reliable water and electricity, meaningful employment opportunities and accountable government.

A. Lesetja — President, National Restoration Party
