We represent all South Africans who are determined to set our country free from the restraints of a broken political system and build a prosperous, non-racial and secure future for all its people.
We will act as one to build a South Africa we can all be proud of. We will act as one to put our values and principles into action. We will not be a party of words, we will be a party of deeds.
The time for talking is over, South Africa needs action!
When ActionSA’s Senate resolved in February 2022 to contest all 9 provinces and nationally in the upcoming 2024 General Elections, ActionSA President Herman Mashaba set about the task of identifying strong, high-profile Provincial Chairpersons.
The role of the Provincial is essential to ensuring that ActionSA structures are effectively led in the important work of wall-to-wall branches of ActionSA in every province. Critically, they also become the face of ActionSA within the province, with the 2024 elections also being provincial in nature, at a time in which South Africans are being failed by their provincial governments.
South African income inequality is amongst the highest in the world. Half of South Africa’s adult population lives below the poverty line, 39.7% of working-age South Africans are without employment, and only four out of ten South Africans under 35 are employed. This, in no uncertain terms, is a national crisis and urgent action is non-negotiable.
The architects of Apartheid reprehensibly constructed the classification of people into race groups, and the legacy of that racial classification remains a significant determinant in an individual’s economic and social prospects in South Africa today.
South Africa remains one of the most unequal countries in the world. The post-democratic government has not only failed to address the painful legacy of our past, but has in fact deepened inequality.
ActionSA requests that Gauteng Local Governance MEC, Mzi Khumalo, urgently intervene in the City of Ekurhuleni Council after its Speaker, Raymond Dhlamini, from the Democratic Alliance (DA) this evening purposefully collapsed council proceedings.
Contrary to DA Leader, John Steenhuisen’s assertion that saving Former Mayor Phalatse was a “price too high to pay”, the announcement of City of Johannesburg Mayor Thapelo Amad’s Mayoral Committee might be the real price too high to pay for the residents of our great city.
In the interest of holding the ANC government account for the energy crisis, ActionSA will be taking joint legal action against Eskom, the Department of Mineral and Energy Resources and the Department of Public Enterprises, and the Government of the Republic of South Africa to take them to task over Eskom’s failure to provide South Africa with a stable energy supply.
