South African comedian Thanasagren Rubbanathan Moodley, also known as Karou Charou, has taken a bold step by founding a new political party called the 1860NIC Congress. The party aims to advocate for the rights of South Africa’s Indian community and other minority groups in the country.

The 1860NIC Congress was officially launched in Durban, with Moodley expressing his vision for the party as a beacon of hope for marginalized minority groups. He emphasized the importance of the Indian community having a rightful place at the table in KZN politics, as the province’s second-largest population.

Moodley, who previously ran as an independent candidate in the general elections but did not secure a parliamentary seat, urged the Indian community and other minority groups to unite and support the party. He highlighted the significance of leaving a legacy for future generations and ensuring equal rights and opportunities for all, as enshrined in the Constitution and Freedom Charter.

The founder of the 1860NIC Congress pointed out the challenges faced by the Indian community under apartheid and continued discrimination in the current democratic dispensation. He criticized the implementation of policies like BBBEE and the Employment Equity Act, which he believes disadvantage Indians and other minority groups.

Registered with the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC), the 1860NIC Congress is gearing up to contest upcoming elections. Moodley confirmed that the party will participate in the 2026 Local Government Elections and any by-elections in the province leading up to that.

As a well-known comedian and community activist for over two decades, Moodley, also known as Karou Charou (KC), is dedicated to ensuring the success of the 1860NIC Congress. His commitment to promoting Indo-African relations and advocating for the rights of previously disadvantaged communities is at the core of the party’s mission.

The party’s launch signals a significant development in the political landscape, offering a platform for marginalized communities to have their voices heard and their rights protected.
