MOVE SA officially entered South Africaโs political arena on Sunday, 6 September 2026, hosting its packed inaugural launch at The Canvas Riversands in Fourways.
Navigating wet weather conditions, thousands of supporters, community organizers, and newly minted members filled the venue to capacity under the campaign banner: “One Nation. One Future. Letโs Move!”
Founded on the principle that the country’s current political leadership relies too heavily on rhetoric, MOVE SA President Rali Mampeule declared that the movement offers a fresh alternative built on measurable outcomes rather than systemic gridlock.
“๐ฆ๐ผ๐๐๐ต ๐๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐๐๐ต ๐๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ,” ๐ ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฑ.
He noted that the party’s formation was directly informed by grassroots consultations addressing the core crises facing regular citizens: structural unemployment, poor housing infrastructure, high crime rates, public sector corruption, and collapsing municipal service delivery.
Mampeule issued a direct challenge to civic apathy, urging citizens to take an active role in democratic systems.
โIf you donโt do politics, politics will do you,โ Mampeule warned, explaining that local administrative decisions directly dictate daily economic opportunities, neighborhood safety, and overall quality of life.
