ActionSA Gauteng welcomes the notable reduction in crime in Gauteng, as reported by the Provincial Police Commissioner, Lieutenant Tommy Mthombeni.

ActionSA is extremely disappointed at the glaring failures of the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport (DRT) in the 2023/2024 fiscal year.

The fact that the Department spent R61,313,517,000 (98.1%) of the R62,502,360,000 allocated budget tor the 2023/24 tinancial year, underspending R1,188,843,000 (1.9%) in a province besieged by numerous health constraints is deeply concerning.

ActionSA rejects President Ramaphosa’s last-ditch cowardly Cabinet reshuffle, appointing the disgraced Minister Thembi Simelane as Minister of Human Settlements amid increasing pressure over mounting allegations of corruption that have rendered her continued leadership of the justice department wholly untenable.

The Western Cape Department of Education (WCED) and SITA are behaving like Pontius Pilate – indecisive, dismissive, and unwilling to act on blatant corruption.

ActionSA is deeply disappointed by the response of the MEC of Education regarding the recent ban on registered vendors in Gauteng schools. For two weeks, these vendors, many of whom are elderly women striving to earn a living, were unfairly prevented and banned from selling food due to a food poisoning incident unrelated to them.

Today’s third-quarter GDP numbers reveal that agriculture and farming appear to have been abandoned by the GNU.

It seems very long ago, and many people might have forgotten this, but it was only back in 2016 when our country’s delegation to the United Nations (UN) abstained from voting in support of a resolution to appoint an independent watchdog on protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

ActionSA has once again written to President Ramaphosa, urging him to protect the integrity of South Africa’s justice system by holding Minister Thembi Simelane accountable for mounting allegations of corruption that have made the Minister’s continued leadership of the justice department entirely untenable.

ActionSA extends its warmest welcome to the launch of Ha Bo Rena affordable student accommodation initiative by Gauteng Department of Human Settlements in Pretoria Gardens.
