The African Congress for Transformation (ACT) is a South African political party founded in August 2023 by former African National Congress (ANC) Secretary General, Premier of the Free State Ace Magashule, and fired Hawks boss Berning Ntlemeza.^[1]^[2]

As of August 2023, Magashule faces a number of corruption charges, and was expelled from the ANC in June 2023.^[3] Ntelemza's controversial reign^[4] as Hawks chief ended when he was fired from the Hawks by then Minister of Police Fikile Mbalula following a High Court ruling that Ntlemeza lacked integrity and was not fit to hold public office, after lying under oath in a matter about previous head Shadrack Sibiya.

ACT intended to contest the 2024 election^[2] but failed to submit its lists in time.^[5]

In January 2024, Magashule announced a "united front" and "amalgamation" between his party and the uMkhonto we Sizwe Party.^[6]
