The party supports the reintroduction of the death penalty, Cape independence, the prohibition of comprehensive sex education in schools and social cohesion amongst all minority groups in South Africa.[4]
The party contested the 2021 municipal elections with Adams running as the party's mayoral candidate in the City of Cape Town.[5][6] The party won seven council seats in Cape Town and one seat in the Saldanha Bay Local Municipality.[7]
In 2023, the party renamed itself from the Cape Coloured Congress to the National Coloured Congress, and intends to contest the 2024 South African general election on a national level.[8]
