The South African Gold Party was at one time the largest and most politically important party in South Africa during the Third Republic. Over a third of South Africa's then congress consisted of members of the SAGP - often referred to simply as the GP or the Gold Party - making it the majority party of the country.
Its membership also consists of some South Africa's most prominent and influential citizens, including Enoch Root, former Country President and leading economist; Robert "RR" Reid, current Party President and Speaker; and Karl Bauer, current Minister of Information, well-respected journalist and the party's Director of Communications.

History
The South African Gold Party was founded in July 2009 by Alby at the birth of the third republic of South Africa, shortly after the liberation of Limpopo from Brazilian occupation. The party's numbers slowly grew as its country recovered and as the party maintained a strong presence in South African society its number of congressmen did also with the culmination being the election of Steven Bosch as the Gold Party first country president.
Since then the SAGP has grown further to become South Africa's largest and strongest party with around one hundred members and a great number of cabinet appointees, including two Speakers of congress (Karl Bauer and Robert Reid) and two country presidents (Enoch Root and Steven Bosch). Every single winning presidential candidate in the last four months (since September 2009) has been supported by the South African Gold Party and recently Dashielle Hammett published that Robert Reid will be running for president in the last month of 2009.Hamilton Moore was elected the Party President on December 15th 2009
The party made a return to politics in January 2011 with Hamilton Moore at the helm.
