The United Africans Transformation (UAT) is a minor political party in South Africa.^[1] It was founded in November 2022 by a group of individuals who broke away from the African National Congress (ANC).^[2] The UATP is centered around Africanism, pan-Africanism, and socialism.^[1]^[2]

History

Formation

The party was founded by Wonder Mahlatsi, a former ANC member and businessman. The party was launched in November 2022, in Johannesburg, Gauteng province.^[3]^[4] The UATP has been criticized for its lack of clear policies and its perceived opportunism in breaking away from the ANC. Some have also questioned Dr. Dube's leadership style and the party's lack of transparency in its finances and decision-making processes.^[1]^[2]

Current structure and composition

The UATP has a central committee led by Mahlatsi as the president, with a secretary-general and other office bearers. The party has a small presence in a few provinces, with most of its support coming from the Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces. The UATP has not articulated a clear foreign policy but has expressed support for African unity and solidarity with other African nations.^[1] The UATP's ideology is centered around Africanism, pan-Africanism, and socialism. Its policies focus on economic empowerment, land reform, and social justice.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Election results

The UATP has contested local government elections in 2019 and national elections in 2024. In the 2024 General Election, the party won 1 seat in the National Assembly and 1 seat in the Limpopo Provincial Legislature.^[1]^[2]
