“1860NIC Congress represents voice of Indians in SA”

Home | “1860NIC Congress represents voice of Indians in SA” Politician Thanasagren Rubbanathan Moodley says his new party aims to represent the voice of Indians in South Africa. This comes after he secured the highest number of votes at 12 500 for an independent candidate in the country in this year’s general elections. Also known as ‘Karou Charou’, Moodley officially launched his political party, the 1860NIC Congress in Durban at the weekend.

“I do believe that the Indian community is discriminated and marginalised and that we need to have a voice, and I went ahead with a plan and two weeks ago, we (were) officially recognised by the IEC as the newest political party registered, and the 1860NIC would continue that mandate to fight for the marginalised and poor communities in South Africa.” Moodley, who is also a comedian who uses his social media as a platform to voice societal issues, was the only independent candidate registered in KwaZulu-Natal.
