'We used him as an artist only. Nowhere in the video does it say that he is a supporter of ours.' - Groenewald on an election video by the FF+ narrated by Steve Hofmeyr GroenewaldOnNews24
Groenewald: To implement our manifesto. My private members bill on firearms has been rejected but I will submit it again, for instance. Our manifestos will be pushed for. Politics is also about influencing the governing parties. If you treat your colleagues behind the scenes, you can ensure that your policies are implemented.
Groenewald: We have our principles and manifesto. Anyone who wants to vote and supports those principles is welcome to vote for us. Remember that there are huge costs when it comes to campaigning in rural areas. With posters: we just don't have the money to do this throughout the country. In 2016, we had two black candidates. If you believe in the same principles, you are welcome.
Groenewald: We are in coalitions with the DA in some places. In certain places we are even the kingmaker. We will not be going in to coalitions with the EFF and we've never been in one with the ANC. There are also smaller parties like the UDM and the IFP that are part of these coalitions. After this election we will have to look at the pre-requisites to ensure that if the FF Plus is part of that coalition, that our policies are also expressed in that coalition.
Groenewald: Economy needs to grow. We are against Affirmative Action and BEE. We say there should only be one criteria and that is merit. Potential investors will then come and invest in SA. The government cannot create jobs. That is not their function. If you want the economy to grow, you must lower personal income tax and company tax. The power of unions must be limited. The labour unions have too much power. We also have to broaden the tax base by increasing VAT.
