Some policies proposed at some point by the party include obtaining officially "full recognition" of Cape Coloured people as "First Nation descendants", meaning descendants of the Khoisan people, fighting against "all forms" of discrimination and notably against coloured people, and also discrimination against LGBTQ people, the eradication of gender-based violence, the prohibition of comprehensive sex education in schools, and the reintroduction of the death penalty for rapists and murderers.[3]
The party contested the 2021 municipal elections with Adams running as the party's mayoral candidate in the City of Cape Town.[4][5] The party won seven council seats in Cape Town and one seat in the Saldanha Bay Local Municipality.[6]
In 2023, the party renamed itself from the Cape Coloured Congress to the National Coloured Congress, and contested the 2024 South African general election, winning two seats in the national parliament and one in the Western Cape.[7][8]
