Cornerstone 1: Restore Belief and Faith in God Almighty 

God wants his people to respect our government and those in position of authority. We all acknowledge God as Lord, Creator of heaven and earth and everything in it. God is Sovereign and has authority over all governments. God changes times and seasons, deposes Kings and raises others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. To restore and have faith in God, BCM will focus on the following principles:

• Justice and Righteousness — All leaders must uphold justice and righteousness.
• Servant Leadership — All BCM members, staff and political office bearers commit to serve the communities.
• Accountability — All BCM members, staff and political office bearers are accountable to the communities/voters and ultimately to God for their actions and decisions.
• Moral Integrity — All leaders must live and govern with integrity, adhering to God’s laws and principles.
• Community Welfare — All leaders must prioritise the welfare and flourishing of the community, ensuring peace and prosperity.
• Encouraging a Prayerful Life — All leaders must encourage everyday prayers to God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, in homes, schools, and places of work.

Cornerstone 2: Reclaim Human Dignity

South Africa is a country of diverse indigenous people as well as people from different continents of the world. However, indigenous people are dominated culturally, spiritually and economically by minority people from different countries of the world. One downside of this dominance is the growing capitalist culture prioritizing money over the values of Botho and fostering materialism.

To reclaim our dignity, BCM will:

• Introduce South African and African History in schools as a mandatory subject.
• Introduce mandatory teaching of indigenous languages of South Africa and teaching in indigenous languages.
• Re-build the arts and culture institutions/centres where the youth can be taught about the principles of social justice, discouraging crass materialism and all forms of elitism.
• Introduce a system of public service for all types of qualifications after graduation and/or military service after Matriculation for all youth.
• Work with all faith-based organisations to implement a National Education Programme teaching about the different religions so that people can choose a religion from an informed point of view.

Cornerstone 3: Reinstate the Governance of this Country to Indigenous South Africans

The South African Constitution is praised as the best in the world — best for everyone but South Africans. It is based on Roman-Dutch Law with some sprinkles of South African input. Indigenous Kings in South Africa are treated as auxiliary, with no role in the development of laws and policies of the country, nor involvement in the administration of government.

This Constitution is viewed by BCM as a tool used to silence indigenous South Africans while protecting the interests of people of European origin and their capital. To reinstate governance of this country to indigenous South Africans, BCM will:

• Hold a referendum to scrap the current 1996 Constitution and replace it with a combination of Constitutional Monarchies or Federal Monarchies (because South Africa has different Monarchs countrywide). Examples of Constitutional and Federal Monarchies are those of the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.
• Introduce a new structure of government where the United Organisation of the Kings of South Africa drafts the Constitution of the country, with politicians presenting to the nation and the Kings how they intend to administer the state to fulfil the Constitution.
• Ensure that Kings in South Africa recognise elected Presidents to office, and not vice versa.

Cornerstone 4: Reclaim Our Land and Mineral Resources Endowed to this Land by God

The advent of Europeans in South Africa resulted in the forced removal of indigenous people from their land and countrywide land dispossessions. This stripped indigenous South Africans of their land, dignity and assets, reducing them to mere labourers in their own country.

South Africa is endowed with underground minerals that are placed in the hands of Europeans, who exploit them together with the people of South Africa, mainly those in rural areas — areas that remain poor with no infrastructure yet sitting on mines.

To address this, BCM will:

• Facilitate the return of the land to its rightful owners — the South African black people, Khoisan and Coloureds — with the Kings serving as custodians.
• Ensure land is accompanied by Title Deeds and full Mineral Rights, and must not be sold.
• Demarcate land for farming, grazing, housing and mining.
• Restructure the Land Bank to invest in land development for the benefit of South Africans.
• Beneficiate minerals in different provinces to produce finished products needed countrywide.

Cornerstone 5: Restore the Economy to a Functioning Blended Economy

Under the new Democratic South Africa, the economy has shed jobs to the extent that the unemployment rate in South Africa is the highest in the world. The current government’s IMF-backed Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan is based on reducing human resources and R&D spending and privatising State Owned Entities — resulting in non-job-creating economic growth below 1% per annum.

To restore the economy to a functioning blended economy, BCM will:

• Not advocate for South Africa to be a communist or “socialist welfare state.”
• Do everything in its power to build an independent country on the free enterprise system.
• Create a one-stop application centre for all government fiscal and financial support to MSMEs.
• Resuscitate all public sector programmes that employ Civil Servants in Medicine, Nursing, Police, Military, and Teaching, and open functional government department offices (like Home Affairs) in rural areas of South Africa.
• Restore all SOEs to a fully functional state and introduce in-service training for all qualifications attained.
• Encourage industrialisation, even in rural areas, by offering tax breaks to companies willing to operate in far-flung areas of the country.
• Resuscitate all Industrial Parks dismantled by government in the former Homelands.

Cornerstone 6: Human Resource Development and Technological Advancement

Everyone tells the youth that education is the key to success, but lived experience tells a different narrative — graduates cannot find employment, nor can they open businesses because they have no collateral to secure business loans.

To develop human resources including in technology, BCM will:

• Introduce vocation-oriented tertiary education, e.g. bricklaying, plumbing, welding, etc.
• Require technical-level students to complete 6 months of study and 6 months of practice.
• Ensure military subscription results in soldiers leaving with a specialised skill.
• Send funding directly to the tertiary institution — eliminating the middleman — so more students can be funded than spent on administration costs of the NSFAS.
• Build more technological centres — at least one centre per province.

Cornerstone 7: Reclaiming Stolen Spaces and Destroyed Buildings

Democracy came with a lot of abandonment of state buildings, and with the overwhelming number of illegal foreign nationals hijacking buildings, many valuable spaces that South Africans used to get services from were lost. The former Homelands are among the victims of this. To address this, BCM will:

• Seek to restore buildings to their original glory and fit for human use.
• Provide serviced empty stands for people to slowly build their own preferred houses — catering for those who do not qualify for a bank mortgage.
• Turn some reclaimed buildings into shelters for displaced people, removing homeless people from the streets.

Cornerstone 8: Restore Law and Order

Law and order is the cornerstone for investment in a country. Law and order indicates stability, stability indicates sustainability of investment, and investment into the economy creates jobs. South Africa is hit by lawlessness from its own citizens and from people who are not accounted for in the country, meaning population registration is still not happening optimally, borders are not secured, and policing is not effective.

To address this, BCM will:

• Increase the budget of the security cluster.
• Advocate for the recruitment of police and military every year.
• Fortify Border Control management with the help of the Military.
• Advocate for the enforcement of Municipality By-laws.
