South Africa First is a movement not borne out of a particular political ideology but rather the pursuance of South African civil liberties, security, welfare, peace and social guarantees as espoused by the broader South African racial groups and communities. South Africa First is founded on the ground-up organic growth principle. South Africa First aims to mobilise all races, communities and groups to fight and eliminate the three monsters facing the South African society today; namely Illegal Immigration, Crime and Corruption as a matter of urgency. South Africa First offers the platform and opportunity for all South Africans who believe in the rule of law, equality, fairness and justice to stand up and actively participate in building and capacitating the collapsed layers of governance in the country.
