The party wishes the town of Sterkspruit to secede from the Senqu Local Municipality and form its own municipality, citing corruption by the African National Congress-led municipality and the sidelining of Sterkspruit with service delivery.[1]
In February 2013, protests led by the organisation resulted in the town shutting down for two weeks.[1] In 2014, the party stated that it would boycott the 2019 South African general election and supporters denied access by Independent Electoral Commission officials to polling stations.[2]
The party has contested elections in Senqu, winning eight seats in 2016,[3] and two in 2021.[4]
