Team Sugar is a South African political party chiefly present in northern KwaZulu-Natal. It broke away from the Economic Freedom Fighters and was initially active as a labour and social movement focusing on factory worker rights.[1][2]

The party forms part of the governing coalition in Newcastle. Leader Musa Thwala was deputy mayor until being voted out by his colleagues in March 2024.[3]
