Membership Form

Hi there

I’m hailing from the eastern cape by origin but residing in pta at the moment. I’m very much interested in your youth league structures. But now the form requires region and ward but I’m not sure which ones around centurion can I keep in touch with.

Happy Festive season and Compliments for the New Year to The General and UDM at large.

I have been following your organization’s path through its Leader’s various interventions and positions for a while now…and I must admit that you guys are very lucky to have such a smart and visionary leader. I personally admire him a lot and would strongly wish to physically meet him one day for further strategical discussion on various sensitive levels. There is no doubt that my multi skilled and solid experience would contribute to the development of the organization should you allow me to join you guys.

I look forward to hearing from you straight in my email and see how one can offer his capacity to the organization as a member.

Hi, Im trying to join the UDM, however your membership form requires the details of my branch, municipal district and ward. I called the CPT reception and I cant be helped; I cant even begin to imagine how many prospective members you could be losing due to this ill-conceived form – please help?

I am a white man with an Afrikaans surname, neither of which I chose. We are thrust into this world with no choice, and I’m sure that quite a few people in the world have regretted their parents’ decision to have children. What I am trying to say is we have to play with the hand we are dealt with. My father, who was born Afrikaans, never accepted apartheid, and actually moved to Durban to become more Anglicized. Unfortunately, 9 months after one of his close physical encounters with my mother, I was thrust into the middle of apartheid. Yes, I was raised in an all-white environment, and, yes, I was taught by my teachers that blacks were inferior, but I never saw people in colour – only in character. An arsehole remains an arsehole regardless of their pigmentation. My father was a liberal. A poor liberal. Religion and race issues were not as important as putting food on the table. He taught me to treat people as they treat you. All people. We are all born the same. We are taught to hate. A lot of my peers have never been able to recognize that they were brainwashed and conditioned to treat people differently – depending on colour. Race is such a sensitive issue in South Africa. It is the lens through which a lot of South Africans filter their lives. Everyone is a racist – every colour is picking on the other colours – a total lack of harmony and common sense. We need more leaders like Bantu Holomisa. He stands for values the other leaders have abandoned: integrity, morality and equality. His promotion of public service, fairness, dialogue and intellectual debate is refreshing in our current scorched earth political climate. Happy 20th birthday UDM. You might just be the comfortable hat I have been searching for – after trying on the ill-fitting IFP, ID and DA. Let’s make South Africa great again (to coin a Trumpism).
