The leadership of new political movement “Rise Mzansi” is seen at the launch of the party, 19 April 2023, at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg. The party is led by Songezo Zibi. Noticeable faces among the leadership are former Democratic Alliance Member of Parliament Makashule Gana and apartheid activist Ishmael Mkhabela.
Zibi told supporters at a public meeting in Nkomazi, Mpumalanga that he was raised by a single mother and was familiar with the struggles they faced.He said RISE Mzansi would ensure that there is support to ensure that mothers can get back to work and school after giving birth. “RISE Mzansi will roll out universal Early Childhood Development as an urgent priority. Single mothers often cannot continue their education or seek employment, because of an absence of affordable, accessible quality child-care facilities,” he said.“We will increase the Child Support Grant to the food poverty line of R680, and over the next two years to R1,335.
“We will strengthen access to Maintenance Courts, and their effectiveness so that fathers are compelled to take responsibility for their children,” he said.“ We will introduce a tax relief scheme of up to R30,000 per annum for single parents in the “missing middle”, those who earn too much to qualify for the Child Support Grant, but not enough to feed their families.
