Dr Pieter Mulder has been re-elected as leader of the Freedom Front Plus.

Mulder thanked delegates to the party's federal council for their trust in him.

He also expressed his satisfaction at the enthusiasm and attendance at the federal council meeting over the weekend, the party said in a statement released after the meeting.

The FF Plus's Free State leader, Abrie Oosthuizen, was re-elected as the party's chairman, it said.

The party's leadership is decided by the federal council every two years.

The officials elected as members of the party's executive management committee were: Dr Corné Mulder (Western Cape leader); Pieter Groenewald (North West leader); Anton Alberts (MP); Andrew Gerber (former North West MEC); and Jaco Mulder (Gauteng leader and MEC).

The FF Plus said Wollie Burger had been elected as its new leader in the Northern Cape. He will replace Carel Boshoff.

Louis Trichardt was chosen as the party's Limpopo leader to replace the retiring Willie Snyman. - Sapa
