TheAfrican Content Movement (ACM) is a South African political party founded in December 2018 by formerSABC actingCOOHlaudi Motsoeneng.[2][3]
At the party launch, Motsoeneng claimed he would become president, that the country would produce 90% of its requirements, that the economy shall be in the hands of the people, make company workers shareholders, force foreign companies to leave the country and reduce social grants.[2][3]
The party currently has two seats inGauteng municipalities after local councillors from the Randfontein People's Party joined the ACM.[4]
It also won two seats inMaluti a Phofung in the2021 municipal election.[5]
In March 2019, Motsoeneng encouraged former presidentJacob Zuma to join the ACM, stating that they shared the same views on transformation.[6]
The party contested the2019 general election, with Motsoeneng, and actress and formerIdols South Africa judge Marah Louw in first and second places respectively on the party's national list, winning 0.03% of the vote and failing to win a seat.
Motsoeneng stated that he "was not really serious and at the time [...] did not even understand the art of politics" but that he intends to contest the2024 general election both nationally and in theFree State province.[7]
