JOHANNESBURG – The steering committee/working board includes suspended ANC MP Mervyn Dirks, South African Truckers Association president Mary Phadi, former Qatar South African ambassador Faizel Moosa, businesswoman Siyalithatha Ilizwe and Nkosentsha Shezi, who is considered a long-time RET ambassador in KwaZulu-Natal.
Niehaus is the chairperson of the movement.
According to Niehaus, the committee will manage the full rollout of the movement. He said the movement would be free of “pettiness” and its logo would soon be unveiled.
“We are hopeful our legal team will have finished the registration of the movement by the end of this week or early next week.
“As soon as registration is finalised, we will announce a date for a launch press conference, where the board members will be present to address the media and unveil the logo,” he said.
Niehaus said the movement is engaging with the EFF as one of the “progressive forces” envisioned as supporting the movement.
“There are many other movements and associations that are advanced in radical economic transformation and deserve our engagement and attention,” he said.
Niehaus previously said the movement will “provide the opportunity to people from different political parties, including those who are committed to the ideals of radical economic transformation but who are still inside the ANC, to be able to participate”.
