Today we introduce you to: Compatriots Of South Africa – CSA
Founded in 2018 by president Cheslin Felix, the party claims 34,000 members across the Northern Cape, Eastern Cape and Western Cape and is focusing its campaigning on disaffected “brown” South Africans. Felix has hit out at both the ANC and the DA for prioritising the rights of black and white South Africans, respectively, over those of “bruin mense”. It may be the only party contesting the 2019 elections with a husband-and-wife leadership team: Felix’s wife Lucia is the party’s vice president.
Saturday, 14 July 2018, marked the official launch of Compatriots of South Africa. The event was held at the Frank Moodie Hall and attended by a small group of residents from the Bloemendal and Bethelsdorp area in the Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth.
The Compatriots of South Africa (CSA) is a registered Political Party based in the Northern Areas of the Nelson Mandela Bay, Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. CSA is a community focused Party, with a wide range of community development objectives.
The Compatriots of South Africa was established in 2018 by Mr Cheslin Felix, a resident of the Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth. This husband and father were troubled by the state of his community and had growing concern for the environment in which his children has to grow up. Motivated by his “be the change you want to see” mentality, he established the Compatriots of South Africa. With his own limited resources and a few like-minded individuals, they embarked on a quest to bring change to a poverty-stricken, largely illiterate and ignorant community.
The Compatriots of South Africa received official political organizational status in 2018. CSA is a fast growing organization applying all its efforts towards effective community development. The Compatriots of South Africa aims to restore dignity through unlocking potential and so reveal the true creative and innovative abilities of South African citizens.
