ActionSA welcomes the South African government’s decision to temporarily close the Lebombo border in response to the escalating violence and political instability in Mozambique.

It is safe to argue that most of the world has been watching this US election with great interest because of the historic role and impact of the US on global affairs. US Presidents still get referred to as the “most powerful president in the world.” It makes sense for us, in South Africa, to be interested in the outcome of any American election. This is primarily because of the important economic relations we have with the US.

ActionSA joins calls for President Ramaphosa to declare a State of Emergency following the tragic death of a 10-year-old girl in Alexandra, the latest victim of an alarming escalation in deadly cases involving the consumption of contaminated or expired goods bought from spaza shops.

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.
