The Freedom Front Plus are the biggest winners of the 2019 national elections. The mainly white and Afrikaans-speaking party received more than double their previous support.
Party leader, Pieter Groenewald denies his party campaigned on a ticket of afrikaner populism, saying they were only responding to how voters feel. In the Northern Cape the the party increased its numbers by 1.88%. It was in Thembelihle, which includes Orania, where the party got 11% of the votes. The municipality was won by the ANC with 54%.
Their manifesto also states that there are very few competent public officials left who can actually do the work, and that is why health care, infrastructure, state-owned entities, departments and municipalities are all failing.
