The African Congress for Transformation (ACT) is a South African political party founded in August 2023 by former African National Congress (ANC) Secretary General, Premier of the Free State Ace Magashule, and fired Hawks boss Berning Ntlemeza.[1][2]
As of August 2023, Magashule faces a number of corruption charges, and was expelled from the ANC in June 2023.[3] Ntlemeza's controversial reign[4] as Hawks chief ended when he was fired from the Hawks by then Minister of Police Fikile Mbalula following a High Court ruling that Ntlemeza lacked integrity and was not fit to hold public office, after lying under oath in a matter about previous head Shadrack Sibiya.
ACT intended to contest the 2024 elections[2] but failed to submit all of its lists in time, and will only be appearing in certain regions.[5][6]
In January 2024, Magashule announced a "united front" and "amalgamation" between his party and the uMkhonto we Sizwe Party.[7]
