The Sizwe Ummah Natione (SUN) is a minor political party in South Africa that seeks to promote Islamic values and principles.[1] [2] Its stated goal is to empower citizens through self-sufficiency and sustainable development.[3]
The SUN was founded by a group of individuals who broke away from the African National Congress (ANC) primarily led by Rashid Gutta.[4] [5]
The party aims to drive positive change and build a brighter future for all South Africans, regardless of their background or beliefs. The party's vision is to create a nation founded on integrity, justice, and equal opportunities for all, where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential.
The SUN has a central committee led by Ahmed Munzoor Shaik Emam as the president, with a secretary-general and other office bearers.[6]
The SUN has not articulated a clear foreign policy but has expressed support for African unity and solidarity with other African nations.
