The Ubuntu Party was a minor South African political party founded in 2012 by author and songwriter Michael Tellinger.[1] Based on the principles of Ubuntu Contributionism, the party espouses Tellinger's pseudolegal ideas.[2]

The party aimed to introduce 100% employment by closing down the South African Reserve Bank and replacing it with a people's bank that will grant interest-free home-loans, fund massive public works, and provide free electricity as Eskom, the state-owned electricity utility, is owned by the people of South Africa.[3] They also plan to eliminate the necessity for government altogether.

The party took part in the 2014 General Election at a national level.[4] Second on their list of candidates was Stephen Goodson,[4][5] leader of the Abolition of Income Tax and Usury Party, a former director of the South African Reserve Bank and controversial for his holocaust denial.[6]

In a 2020 social media post, the party noted it was no longer active in politics and had not contested an election since 2016.[7]
