ActionSA Set to Deliver Most Practical Plans to Fix South Africa

Tomorrow, ActionSA will deliver its National Manifesto campaign platform for the 2024 national and provincial elections.

The event is dedicated to all South Africans who have been let down by a failed political establishment – people who are looking for hope.

The ActionSA Manifesto Launch will be held at the Ellis Park Indoor Arena with an advertised seating capacity of 5000 which will be filled through supporters in Gauteng and mostly Johannesburg. ActionSA has the capacity to fill much larger stadia but, regrettably, must compete against parties in the failed political establishment who have outrageously rewarded their failure with R1.5 billion in state funding for this election.

We welcome the opportunity to launch the ActionSA manifesto last, and not just because is our manifesto that will be clearest in the minds of South Africans when they go to vote. We have had the chance to witness the political establishment misread the national mood spectacularly by making grandiose promises that lack credibility. This has set ActionSA up to focus not just on what an ActionSA government will deliver, but also to communicate credible plans on how this will be implemented so that South Africans can believe in an alternative to the failed establishment.

Today, I am joined by a few of the 112 ActionSA members whose name is Tintswalo. We have asked these South Africans to be here today so that we can assure them that this manifesto launch will not be the fictional delusions of an out-of-touch political establishment that has described a world that these young people do not identify with. Instead, we pledge to Tintswalo, and all South Africans, that we will tell the story of how their real-life experience will be improved.

The process to develop our National Manifesto followed from our policy conference held in September last year. It was a process that drew upon the knowledge of South Africans, working in various industries, so that our solutions would be based on practical solutions by people who know what needs to be done to fix South Africa. The advent of Team Fix South Africa, ActionSA’s shadow cabinet of 18, has seen this process now handed over to these highly experienced and knowledgeable South Africans. This is why Herman Mashaba has presented a team where our member for Police is a retired police captain, where our health member is a doctor, where our education member is an educator, where our justice member is an advocate, where our finance member is a chartered accountant and where our economics member is an economist.

This team has taken our policy workings and assisted to develop our national manifesto into the credible plans that will be presented here tomorrow.

Moreover, many of our Team Fix South Africa members will be co-presenting the national manifesto in their speeches relating to their portfolios. We are proud to be led by a President like Herman Mashaba who knows the value of team. While some party leaders have droned on for hours, Herman Mashaba has called upon these members to share the work of presenting our plans to South Africa.

Our Manifesto will be grounded in our prioritised plan for 5 Plus 1:

– Our plan to grow the economy and create jobs through private and public sector pogrammes.

– The implementation of Inclusive Economic Empowerment and a Universal Basic Income Grant.

– The blueprint and timeline for ending loadshedding.

– The achievement of law and order with a focus on corruption, substance abuse and gender-based violence.

– The enforcement of our borders.

ActionSA is pleased that these plans will be led by our President who remains one of very few party leaders who have any kind of track record in government and even fewer with a positive track record. South Africans have been failed, time and again, by political rhetoric which has never translated into tangible improvements in the lives of South Africans.

ActionSA is ready to stage this historic event ahead of our contestation of our first national and provincial election, at a time in which more and more South Africans are looking for a tested and credible alternative to a political establishment that they cannot wait to vote out of office.
