The
United Democratic Movement (UDM) is a
centre-left,
social-democratic,
South African political party, formed by a prominent former
National Party leader,
Roelf Meyer (who has since resigned from the UDM), a former
African National Congress and
Transkei homeland leader,
General Bantu Holomisa, and a former ANC Executive Committee member, John Taylor. It has an anti-
separatist, pro-
diversity platform; and supports an
individualist South Africa with a strong moral sense, in both
social and
economic senses.
