The Forum 4 Service Delivery (F4SD) is a South African political party founded in 2015 to tackle grassroots issues such as water, sanitation, housing, immigration laws, education and children going to school without shoes. The party registered to contest the 2016 South African municipal elections in five provinces: North West, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, Gauteng and Limpopo.[1]

The party contested the 2016 Local Government elections, winning 31 seats, 29 in the North West Province, and one each in Mpumalanga and the Free State. The party also contested also 2019 general election but failed to win a seat. The party's primary demand in their 2019 manifesto was direct speedy services to the people and the removal of all foreign nationals.[2][3]
