ActionSA is pleased at the result obtained in yesterday’s by-election in KwaNobuhle in the NelsonMandela Bay (NMB).
Having achieved 8% and becoming the third largest party in this ward in just seven weeks, it is clear that ActionSA continues to grow and that our offer is resonating with the people of NMB.
While it is our intention to win every election we contest, we are encouraged by this significant result in the Eastern Cape.
We will build on this momentum by taking our offer from city to city, province to province in anticipation of the 2024 General Election where we will continue to make meaningful gains and provide the people of South Africa with a real alternative.
We also congratulate Eastern Cape Chairperson, Athol Trollip, and the team for their exceptional work in what was traditionally an ANC stronghold.
We also thank our members in the Eastern Cape for their passionate commitment and enthusiasm.
This by-election was like no other because it was not just about the ward in which it took place, but is about the future of NMB as the leadership hangs in the balance between the ANC or themulti-party coalition.
As the City approaches 30 days water supply remaining, in the absence of any plan, the control of the City is all important to all of its residents who continue to lose faith in the ANC as evidenced by its double-digit decline in this ward.
