The FF Plus’s Manifesto and Policy Framework serve as a building plan to resolve South Africa’s most pressing problems and bring about restoration. The following lies at the core of this building plan:

• Promote the free-market system and equal access to opportunities.
• Establish a smaller, nimbler central government with minimal interference in citizens’ lives.
• Promote a state where everyone is equal before the law and eradicate all forms of corruption.
• Abolish race-based Affirmative Action and Black Economic Empowerment; use socio-economic conditions as criteria for empowerment and promote equal opportunities for all.
• Realise communities’ internationally recognised constitutional right to self-determination.
• Establish community councils.
• Afford provinces more autonomy.
• Establish a smaller local government system with more locally-focused functioning.
• Establish a special investigating unit to investigate alleged unlawful activities of municipal officials – including the violation of environmental legislation.
• Cut state expenditure; privatise state-owned enterprises; increase state revenue by stimulating growth; offer tax relief; and establish a fiscal commission.
• Protect private property rights.
• Invest in upgrading and maintaining the electricity transmission grid; address electricity theft and secure electricity infrastructure; encourage the transition to renewable energy sources, such as solar panels; finalise the unbundling of Eskom into separate entities; reduce the bureaucratic red tape associated with licensing private electricity generation; and create a favourable regulatory environment for private electricity generation and competition in the sector.
• Amend restrictive labour legislation so as to promote job creation while still maintaining fair labour practices; create a favourable environment for the private sector to create more jobs; put an end to the unsustainable practice of government creating jobs.
• Maintain a high standard of education where mother-tongue education is accessible to all up to the highest possible level, and is parent and community driven.
• Develop independent local economies and establish functional Special Economic Zones.
• Implement tariff protection, research, disaster relief and build infrastructure to benefit subsistence and commercial farmers.
• Develop an environmentally friendly policy framework and effectively enforce environmental legislation to create favourable conditions for sustainable agricultural, forestry and fishing operations.
• Allocate small-scale fishing quotas to communities in and around coastal areas, while preventing front companies and exploitation.
• The country should move away from products, practices and energy sources that are destructive to the environment; stop pollution and promote recycling; prioritise renewable energy; offer tax rebates for individuals and businesses that make use of alternative energy sources.
• Implement measures to prevent desertification and promote rehabilitation of soil where desertification has already occurred.
• Address the shortcomings of the criminal justice system to bring endemic gender-based violence and rape to an end.
• Restore law and order by creating specialised units for violent crime, child and human trafficking, organised crime, gang violence, drug trafficking and farm murders.
• Provide quality healthcare through prioritising expertise rather than transformation; stop the over-regulation of medical aid schemes; upgrade public healthcare infrastructure; establish cooperation between the public and private healthcare sectors; scrap the NHI Bill.
• Promote language rights and multilingualism.
• Build foreign relations on mutual respect and give preference to countries with which South Africa already has or can establish strong trade ties.
• Ensure effective border control that restores the integrity of our country’s borders and that brings the movement of illegals goods, such as firearms and drugs, across our borders as well as illegal immigration to an end.
