Former SA Idols winner Heinz Winckler is borrowing American conservative tactics to “combat the moral decay in South Africa”, but with a twist.

Mere weeks after launching his Charlie Kirk-inspired ONE80 movement, the Somerset West resident refutes statements that the organisation is a political party. Instead, Winckler claims the movement is based on Christian values, with the aim to “reach like-minded people who want to see change” in the country.
