The NCC (registered with the IEC as the Cape Coloured Congress, CCC) is a Cape Town-based party that describes itself as social democratic and campaigns for people classified coloured as 'First Nation descendants', opposing affirmative action and BEE as applied and demanding jobs and housing allocated on regional demographics. Its 2024 manifesto combines pro-poor positions (scrapping municipal arrears, subsidised electricity, state-built rental housing, land reform without compensation) with hard-line law-and-order stances such as declaring gangs terrorists and a limited death penalty.
Where the party stands today
In the 2021 local elections the NCC won 8 council seats across 2 municipalities, all in the Western Cape.

Where NCC stands
9 of 18 positions foundClean & accountable government
Top municipal jobs, like the city manager and the head of finance, should be filled by an independent panel. Political parties should have no say in who gets them.
No stated positionThe law should stop the municipality from raising rates and service charges (water, electricity, refuse) by more than inflation each year.
No stated position
Water, electricity & tariffs
Poor households should get more free water and electricity, even if better-off households pay more to cover it.
Agree"Calls for reinstating subsidised electricity for qualifying households; does not specify larger free allocations or higher tariffs for better-off households."
Note: The official website still says Preparing for 2026 and the available manifesto is labelled 2024. EWN on 11 September confirms a planned 30 municipalities across Western Cape, Northern Cape, Eastern Cape and Gauteng, superseding the stored Western-Cape-only scope. No Gauteng mayoral candidate was verified. Q16 is newly filled from the explicit District Six renaming pledge in the opened 2024 manifesto; no newer renaming pledge was found. Q10 and Q19 are cleared because restrictions on foreign employment do not establish status checks for municipal licences or nationality restrictions on spaza ownership. Q6 and Q17 are low-confidence: the outsourcing passage specifically concerns health staff, not municipal services. Other surviving 2024 policies are stale-confirmed after searches for 2025-2026 policy updates. Unrelated allegations from the previous notes are not repeated.
