ATM calls for reinstatement of death penalty in SA

African Transformation Movemen also wants changes to the education system.

The African Transformation Movement (ATM) is advocating for the reinstatement of the death penalty in South Africa. At a provincial rally in Bloemfontein, Free State Chairperson Tommy Ancell emphasized the need for stronger measures to tackle killings and other injustices. Ancell also called for reforms in the education system and improved opportunities for those struggling to find employment.

The party intends to concentrate on long-term solutions that empower communities to become self-reliant. Ancell stressed that the party will not resort to slogans or hashtags for trending purposes. He questioned why no action is being taken to address the rising incidents of violence against women and the broader societal implications.

The statement comes after ATM unveiled its Free State mayoral candidates and as the party prepares to launch its election campaign.
