Congress of the People

The Congress of the People (COPE) is a political party in South Africa established in 2008 by former members of the African National Congress who disagreed with its direction. COPE aims to promote democratic values, social justice, and economic equality. It seeks to provide an alternative to established parties, emphasizing transparent governance and accountability. As a relatively new player in South African politics, COPE strives to address issues like corruption, inequality, and governance challenges, representing those seeking fresh political options and reforms within the country's democratic framework.
