BUILD One SA (BOSA), the GOOD Party, and RISE Mzansi have announced their unification under a single banner, Unite for Change - a new political party aiming to transform South African politics ahead of the 2026 Local Government Elections.

- KAMOGELO MOICHELA

This historic consolidation signals a major shift in the country’s political landscape.

In an announcement made in Johannesburg yesterday, Unite for Change promised “one name, one platform, and one purpose”, and will contest the 2026 municipal elections as a unified movement.

The new party will be registered with the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) and is actively welcoming like-minded political parties, civil society groups, and individuals to join the initiative.
