Former EFF MP Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has published an 11-point thesis for what he calls the Batho Pele Convention—a new grassroots movement built around collective action, parallel institutions and the rejection of South Africa’s political establishment.
Ndlozi argues that the state has abandoned its responsibilities and that ordinary people must organise their own schools, clinics, roads, security structures and local services. He also attacks professional politicians, foreign-funded activism, capitalist economics and the idea of scarcity while promising a new path towards national renewal.
But is this genuinely a people-first alternative to the failing ANC government, or is it old communist revolutionary ideology repackaged for a new generation?
In this video, I examine Ndlozi’s 11 theses, the revolutionary language behind them, their similarities to AfriForum-style parallel institutions, and the dangers of pursuing political utopia through collectivism. I also explain why his enormous online influence means these ideas could become increasingly important in South African politics.
