Gaolathe speaks on UDC manifesto

Being a relatively new formation, the first step for the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) had to be the crafting of a framework, which policy director Ndaba Gaolathe revealed received immense goodwill. He said that during the process of compiling the UDC manifesto, people across the country had input.

Gaolathe said ordinary citizens who are not part of the UDC were also involved, “because it is the people out there who should, subsequently, inform the direction we choose to take as a country”. 

He said the drafting of the manifesto was a UDC project and was not based on individual parties advancing any preferences.   “If the question is whether members from each of the parties were involved, then the answer is yes indeed they were all involved, in many forms,” Gaolathe said.
