Abantu Batho Congress

Abantu Batho Congress is a South African political party established by businessman Philani Mavundla.
The party describes itself as an Afrocentric, Pan-Africanist and womanist revolutionary movement.
In January 2021, former Economic Freedom Fighters Gauteng leader Mandisa Mashego joined the new party.
The party contested the 2021 South African municipal elections, targeting Durban and the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality.
As of late, the Abantu Batho Congress has also come out in support of an independent Zulu state.

Leadership disputes

In November 2023, a faction elected Bhungu Gwala as president of the party. Reigning president Philani Mavundla disputed the decision, and both leaders attempted to fire each other from the party. In 2024, the Electoral Court ruled in favour of Mavundla.
