On 27 September 1997, a significant moment in South Africa’s political history unfolded with the formation of the United Democratic Movement (UDM). This merger brought together two distinct political initiatives: the National Consultative Forum, founded by Bantu Holomisa after he was controversially expelled from the African National Congress for refusing to retract his testimony at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission about corruption in the former Transkei government; and the New Movement Process, led by Roelf Meyer, who left the New National Party due to their refusal to embrace transformation.
