ActionSA’s Senate has begun a two-day session to respond to calls from our councillors in Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni to reconsider our relationship with other parties and the role that the ActionSA can play in respect of stabilising governance and service delivery in these two Gauteng Metros.
It is the experience of most residents of these two cities that service delivery has ground to a halt as a direct consequence of instability and coalition partners who have sought to exact demands in decision-making that have nothing to do with the residents of the municipality in question.
ActionSA is at pains to observe that our past commitments preclude the Party from entering coalitions with the ANC. Having said this, ActionSA holds substantial seats in these municipalities and cannot allow instability to persist to the detriment of the residents of these cities while capable of being a constructive opposition.
ActionSA will be engaging in discussions on this matter over the next few days and respectfully requests the space to conclude these considerations. As always, we will brief the media at the earliest opportunity in a manner consistent with our commitment to transparency.
