Leader Michael Tellinger | Founded 2012 | |
The Ubuntu Party is a South African political party founded by the author and songwriter Michael Tellinger based on the principles of Ubuntu Contributionism. The party aims to introduce 100% employment by closing down the South African Reserve Bank and replacing it with a People's Bank that will grant interest-free homeloans and fund massive public works campaign, as well as to provide free electricity as Eskom, the state-owned electricity utility, is owned by the people of South Africa. They also plan to eliminate the necessity for government altogether.
The party took part in the 2014 General Election at a national level. Second on their list of candidates was Stephen Goodson, leader of the Abolition of Income Tax and Usury Party, a former director of the South African Reserve Bank and controversial for his holocaust denial.
