The African Security Congress (ASC) is a South African political party founded to lobby for the interests of private security guards, in particular for government to employ security guards directly.{{Cite web |url=https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2017-10-30-guards-demand-to-work-directly-for-government/ |title=Guards demand to work directly for government |website=TimesLIVE |language=en-ZA |access-date=2019-04-05}}

In November 2017, former African National Congress (ANC) politician Makhosi Khoza, who resigned from the ANC after calling for Jacob Zuma to resign, was invited to be involved with the party in a leadership capacity, and joined a march on behalf of security guards in Germiston.{{Cite web |url=https://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/south-africa/2017-11-27-makhosi-khoza-returns-to-politics-to-help-form-new-party/ |title=Makhosi Khoza returns to politics to help form new party |website=SowetanLIVE & Sunday World |language=en-ZA |access-date=2019-04-05}}
