Agang South Africa (Agang SA) is a South African political party, first announced by anti-apartheid activist Mamphela Ramphele on 18 February 2013,[1][2] and founded on 22 June 2013,[3] the date of the party's first official congress.[4][5][6]
Agang is a Setswana word meaning "let us build".[7] The party encourages reforms towards direct governance, striving to "build a stronger democracy in which citizens will be at the centre of public life";[8] and challenged the governing African National Congress in the 2014 general election.[9] The party ran again in the 2019 general election, losing all of its seats,[10] and did not compete in the 2024 general election.[11]
