RISE Mzansi will contest next year’s general elections nationally and in all nine provinces.
The National Leadership Collective (NLC) has appointed national spokesman, Tebogo Moalusi, as the Gauteng provincial convener to lead the party’s 2024 election campaign for the province.
The other provinces already had their leaders, who are led by Songezo Zibi as the national leader of the party.
Rise Mzansi national chairwoman Vuyiswa Ramokgopa said the appointment of Moalusi would strengthen their campaign and enable them to attract other credible and energetic leaders to the campaign.
“Rise Mzansi now has provincial conveners leading campaigns in all nine provinces signaling our clear intention to contest national and provincial ballots in 2024,” she said.
She said Moalusi brought experience in leading organisations as well as a youthful energy that would enable the Rise campaign to reach and activate the millions of despondent unregistered youth and disaffected voters who were currently registered but not voting.

Before joining the party, Moalusi was employed by one of the large national insurance companies and is a co-owner and founder of various businesses and possesses an MBA from GIBS Business School.
Ramokgopa said Rise Mzansi had experienced the “most organic growth” in the last few months as citizens search for a credible new alternative to the "failed" political establishment.
She pointed out that Gauteng was the economic engine of South Africa and the most populous province and would be hotly contested in the 2024 general elections.
She said the party had thousands of field organisers and volunteers based in communities countrywide, organising and mobilising South Africans daily to take back their power and work to build and restore their communities and families.
Ramokgopa said: “Every day, more and more South Africans are finding hope in the realisation that it's possible to build the South Africa we all deserve, and that through the ballot box, together we can build such a country.”
