While political party Compatriots of South Africa will not be contesting the upcoming elections, it has given its support to the GOOD Party, and wants its supporters to vote for GOOD, following discussions between both parties over the weekend.

The party, Compatriots of South Africa, is based in the Eastern Cape, with the slogan ‘Restoring our dignity’ and a focus on communities it believes have been marginalised in the democratic South Africa.

GOOD Party said in a statement on Monday that while there had been much change in South Africa since the end of Apartheid, more should have been done to make up for the historic injustices.

“The GOOD Party extends its gratitude to Compatriots of South Africa for endorsing the necessity to stop our people’s suffering. The majority of South Africans are good people. Regardless of where they live, what they look like or what language they speak, they share the ideal of raising children able to take the opportunities that come their way, and live lives of decency and dignity. The GOOD Party’s no-frills approach to prioritise re-balancing a profoundly unequal country by addressing the suffering and indignity of millions of citizens who, 30 years after democracy, still find themselves shut out of the economy, is winning the support of good people across the country,” GOOD said.
