ActionSA has noted the recent appointment of Councillor Jabu Mabona to the position of Regional Executive Director (RED) by the DA-led coalition government in the City of Tshwane; an appointment that smacks of alleged irregularity and corruption.

If ever there has been a moment that required President Ramaphosa to grab the proverbial bull by the horns, rise to the occasion, and lead South Africa, it was the events of the last two weeks.

ActionSA will approach the South African Human Rights Commission to report the racist utterances of Jackie Shandu which he made on the steps of Durban’s City hall yesterday, Thursday the 29th July 2021.

ActionSA reiterates our call for the Tshwane’s “Ghost Mayor” to present a maintenance plan for the City’s substations following yet another round of prolonged electrical blackouts and water shortages across the length and breadth of the city. Since the beginning of this month, residents in the city have experienced a lack of service delivery of unprecedented proportions.

ActionSA welcomes the finding by the Department of Corporate Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) that eMalahleni Municipal Manager, Sizwe Mayisela, Chief Financial Officer, Jabulile Hlatswayo and Director of Corporate Services, Mandla Vilane, were unduly enriched with salary increases.

Today, ActionSA President, Herman Mashaba, announced that the party will contest the coming Local Government Elections in both the Newcastle Local Municipality and KwaDukuza Local Municipality, in Kwa – Zulu Natal (KZN).
