These political parties are contesting for seats in the 2019 National Assembly elections on 8 May 2019.
Please note you STILL need to go to the polls on 8 May 2019 and VOTE in person .........
Today we introduce you to: African Security Congress
The ASC party was founded in 2017 by security guards lobbying for greater rights for members of the private security industry, but unaffiliated with the industry body PSIRA. ASC president Teboho Motloung has previously called for security guards to be directly employed by the state and granted status on a par with the South African Police Service (SAPS), as the party says that they do similar work to police and are exploited by the private sector.
Their aim is to “Modernise The Security Industry Through Social -Cohesion”
THE African Security Congress political party says it stands for the rights of security guards and cleaners across the country. The ASC was formally registered in April 2017.
Party co-ordinator Bongani Ngcele said the formation of the party was long overdue as cleaners have endured endless abuse from employees for a very long time.
“The work of security guards and cleaners is the most strenuous, but they are the most marginalised and ill-treated industries in the employment realm in the country,” said Ngcele.
Among the party’s demands should they be elected, is that outsourcing be eradicated. They want security guards to be paid a minimum of R8 500 per month for an eight-hour working day, and want companies that are non-compliant with government regulations to be done away with.
Ngcele said with about 10 million registered security guards alone, the party is confident that it will gain more support.
“We encourage our workers to continue to respect their employers and not cause any unnecessary trouble that might lead to them getting fired even if they are our members, because our aim is not to fight the employer but to secure adequate rights for all who work in security and cleaning companies.”
