Hammanskraal residents should not fall victim to the lies and misinformation of peddled by the DA which has failed for 8 years to provide the community with clean water and is now scrambling to cover up nearly a decade of incompetence with falsehoods about the Magalies Water Treatment Plant expansion.

ActionSA in Gauteng is deeply disappointed by the gross mismanagement and lack of accountability surrounding the so-called “Montrose Mega Project” in Randfontein. Despite R11 billion of public funds being spent, this project now stands as a symbol of government failure, with incomplete houses, poor project management, decaying infrastructure, and escalating criminal activity.

Since February this year, Gauteng has had over 210 cases of suspected food poisoning with 16 resulting in fatalities of children, the vast majority of which were under 10 years of age. ActionSA, therefore, welcomes the promise made by Premier Panyaza Lesufi to deploy food inspectors to monitor townships’ spaza shops which have been the alleged contributor to this scourge. And we do so with extreme caution.

ActionSA Rand West Youth Forum Regional Executive Committee conducted an oversight visit to assess the overall conditions of various parks in Mohlakeng, Randfontein. Disappointingly, but unsurprisingly, the state of the local parks throughout Mohlakeng is appalling with no visible plans to restore them. Parks that were intended to serve as recreational spaces for outdoor entertainment, community health and wellness, as well as provide an environment for social cohesion amongst young people and fellow community members have now been turned into dumping sites and crime zones.

ActionSA is deeply concerned about the escalating misuse of Gauteng’s public healthcare system by foreign nationals who receive Oncology treatment without paying their medical costs. This practice not only places additional strain on already overburdened healthcare facilities, but it also diverts resources away from South Africans who require urgent care.

ActionSA Gauteng Youth Forum condemns the action of the Department of Social Development of not paying the Youth Brigades’ October salaries. We view this as an unacceptable exploitation of the desperate youth who have put their trust in this program, that has caused severe inconvenience to many young people employed under it.

ActionSA welcomes the National Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Shamila Batohi’s decision to review the irrational withdrawal of the corruption charges against former Minister and ANC MP Zizi Kodwa.

ActionSA welcomes the establishment of an Oversight Committee on the Presidency, which in recent years has bloated into a ‘Super Presidency,’ absorbing an ever-increasing number of state functions under its command without any form of dedicated Parliamentary oversight until now.

ActionSA Tshwane Caucus commends the decision taken by the Executive Mayor of Tshwane, Dr Nasiphi Moya, to initiate a review of the Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), including the controversial agreement with AfriForum.

As part of ActionSA’s unwavering commitment to advancing accountability, transparency and good governance, we will be introducing a ground-breaking motion in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature that guarantees the oversight authority of Members of the Provincial Legislature (MPLs). This motion will seek to guarantee that the Executive is held accountable for its actions and that Gauteng residents receive the services our constitution entitles them to. This move is critical for improved oversight and accountability throughout Gauteng Province.

Forestry, Fisheries and Environment Minister Dion George’s revelation that the City of Cape Town faces possible prosecution by the NPA for its continued illegal discharge of sewage into coastal waters reveals what we already know – that for years the Metro has acted with impunity.
