National Conservative Party of South Africa

Political party in South Africa

The National Conservative Party of South Africa (Afrikaans: Nasionale Konserwatiewe Party van Suid-Afrika) is an Afrikaner nationalist political party formed on 16 April 2016 in Pretoria.

Formation

The party was formed on 16 April 2016 by a wide spectrum of conservative and nationalist South Africans, many of whom had been members of the Conservative Party in the 1980s. Steve Hofmeyr, an Afrikaans singer and activist, was the main guest speaker at the founding congress on 16 April 2016. The party was registered as a political party by the Independent Electoral Commission on 27 May 2016.^[1]

Ideology and policy

The party was also formed on the principles of the Conservative Party of Andries Treurnicht but with a modern approach.

Afrikaner self-determination is the core policy of the party, but that does not exclude other people of European descent, such as British South Africans, Irish, Portuguese, Greeks, Poles and Italians. They also focus on the protection of Afrikaner rights in today's South Africa. The ultimate goal of the party is external self-determination or secession from South Africa.^[2]

The party did not take part in the 2019 national or provincial elections and has been deregistered.^[3]^{[better source needed]}

Schalkie van der Merwe was arrested for conspiracy to commit murder on the 23rd February 2022 Arrest. They were caught in a sting operation aired on national television Sting operation. His wife, Leoni van der Merwe, counted out the money for the hit wearing blue surgical gloves and wrapped up the money in an empty chips packet Court case. Statement released about the couple Project Schalkie and Leoni

Events

The party organised a memorial on Friday 20 May 2016 at the place of the Church Street bomb in Pretoria, a terrorist attack by the military-wing of the African National Congress, the Umkhonto we Sizwe on 20 May 1983. A memorial stone was placed at the scene in memory of the lives that were lost on that day.^[4]
