EXPELLED ANC member Carl Niehaus has announced that he will launch a non-profit organisation on Thursday, 23 February.
He said the organisation will aim to advance radical economic transformation, which is seen in other quarters as an attempt to sway ANC leaders to further personal agendas.
On Monday, 20 February, Niehaus said the preparatory work has been completed to go on with the formal launch of the organisation.
“As we have reported on social media and mainstream media platforms, extensive consultations with many South Africans, various progressive civil society organisations and political parties, laid the foundation for this launch,” he said.
Niehaus said they will continue with further consultations and engagements after the launch.

He said their “working board” has concluded on the final name of the NPO, which will be revealed on Thursday.
He said they were ready to continue with their programme of action to roll out a “mass people’s base organisation” across Mzansi.
The organisation has come up with what it called a “Ten Point to Save Our Nation” as a draft policy statement.
Among the points is expropriation of land without compensation, reverse privatisation of state-owned enterprises, nationalisation of the Reserve Bank and special border policing to stop foreigners from coming into the country illegally.

Niehaus said they have been getting calls from a number of people concerned about the state of the country wanting to sign up as new members.
“It is for us a source of excitement and pride that they will now indeed be able to do so,” said Niehaus.
