Politics of South Africa Political parties Elections

The Democratic Liberal Congress (DLC) is a South African political party formed in 2016 by Patrick Pillay.

Pillay was a Minority Front councillor for fifteen years before infighting in that party after the death of longstanding leader Amichand Rajbansi led him to break away and form the DLC.^[1]

The party opposes affirmative action and land expropriation without compensation, and is in favour of austerity measures for government and simplifying business.^[2]
