Remarks by ActionSA President, Herman Mashaba, at the announcement of the expansion of the ‘Green Umbrella’ in Rustenburg, North West.

In 1955, the Congress of the People gathered in Kliptown, Soweto, to adopt the Freedom Charter, a document that captured the aspirations of millions across the country and the region.

It is a grotesque irony in our country that a convicted murderer can take the life of an innocent baby girl, be sentenced to prison, and still receive three meals a day, clean water, warm shelter, electricity, education, even train as a medical doctor.

ActionSA notes the dismissal of the Deputy Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition but believes that the President must remove all 42 remaining Deputy Ministers and implement bold reforms that deliver real accountability across his entire Cabinet for incompetence, underperformance and impropriety. 

ActionSA has noted with deep concern the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) tabling of a motion of no confidence against the Speaker of the City of Tshwane.

ActionSA has met with the ANC and conveyed that we will not vote to defend Dada Morero in the motion of no confidence tabled against him today.

ActionSA wishes to express its condolences to the bereaved family of legendary trumpeter, Feya Faku, who passed away yesterday while on tour in Switzerland.

Remarks by ActionSA President, Herman Mashaba, at the launch of ActionSA’s nationwide campaign focused on fixing local government in South Africa.

On a good day Helen Zille is a polarising figure, on a bad day she is a wrecking-ball to race relations in South Africa. This is why it is not surprising that a strategically placed article to soft-launch Zille’s mayoral campaign in Joburg caused the stir that it did.
