About the Democratic Alliance

"The Democratic Alliance’s vision is of a prosperous, Open Opportunity Society that is uniquely South African; in which every person is free, secure, and equal before the law; and in which everyone has the means to improve the quality of his life and pursue her own aspirations.Our vision rests on the belief that: South Africans can and must overcome the historic divisions of race and ethnicity, and unite in our diversity around a shared South African identity.All South Africans are of equal worth and have a right to full participation in the life of our common South African society. South Africa’s constitution is the only foundation on which an Open Opportunity Society can be built because it recognises that every person is equal in dignity and worth and guarantees the freedom of each individual.The rights enshrined in the constitution must be defended and promoted in order to protect the people of South Africa from the concentration and abuse of power."
