Fellow South Africans
This past weekend ActionSA launched our first manifesto for a national government election. The manifesto provides the most comprehensive and pragmatic solutions to fix the biggest problems facing South Africa.
From our one-of-a-kind Opportunity Fund which will directly address the legacy of Apartheid and three decades of ANC government, to restoring the rule of law and igniting job growth, ActionSA’s policies will fundamentally change the country for the better and improve the lives of our people.
But, during my manifesto launch speech at the Ellis Park Arena – where over 5000 ActionSA supporters, or Actioners, gathered – I warned that change in South Africa is not going to happen overnight.
A couple of media interviews and newspaper clippings are not going to bring about democratic change in this country. As we have seen in recent weeks, there are too many parties that exist purely on social media or in the country’s commentariat but lack support on the ground.
For us to bring about democratic change, it will require that thousands of South Africans take action in the weeks ahead to spread the message of hope ActionSA has to offer. It will require that those who love the country take action by going door-to-door, holding community meetings, or supporting our activists on the ground.
ActionSA has already been hard at work over the past three years building the structures and ground operations needed to fix South Africa with over 2000 branches country-wide, and over 290,000 members. We will build on this momentum to restore the country to a path of prosperity.
This year’s elections provide the best opportunity to change the direction the country is taking, but we will only be able to achieve that goal if we take action this year and vote for ActionSA on the 29th of May. This is why our slogan reads “Only Action Will Fix South Africa,” because it is only through taking action that we can build a better life for all those living in South Africa.
I therefore invite you to take action with me this year. In the weeks ahead, I will join you on the ground in communities across the country as we build a movement that can unseat the ruling party.
Hope is possible in South Africa. Change is Possible in South Africa. I am excited to be on this journey with you.
