The African Heart Congress Party (AHCP) is a minor political party in South Africa. The party was founded by Moloko Mpolobosho, a former ANC member and businessman. The party was launched in March 2020, in Ivory Park, Johannesburg.[1]

History

[edit]

Origin

[edit]

The AHCP was founded in 2020 by a group of individuals who broke away from the African National Congress (ANC).[1][2]

Current structure and composition

[edit]

The AHCP has a central committee led by Mpolobosho 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 Province.[1]

Foreign policy and relations

[edit]

The AHCP has not articulated a clear foreign policy but has expressed support for African unity and solidarity with other African nations.[1][2]

Criticism and controversy

[edit]

The AHCP has been criticized for its lack of clear policies and its perceived opportunism in breaking away from the ANC. Some have also questioned Mvana's leadership style and the party's lack of transparency in its finances and decision-making processes.[1]
