The City of eThekwini has arrogantly and shamelessly filed an appeal to ActionSA’s successful High Court ruling stating that it must fulfil its constitutional obligation to provide clean water to residents
These remarks were delivered this morning in Soweto by ActionSA President and Johannesburg Mayoral Candidate, Herman Mashaba.
ActionSA stands ready for its announcement of a Joburg Mayoral Candidate tomorrow, Saturday, 21 February 2026, in Orlando, Soweto.
ActionSA is deeply concerned by the unsafe and deteriorating conditions at Mzinti Primary School in Mpumalanga, which were observed during an oversight visit conducted by the Provincial Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Education on Friday, 13 February 2026.
ActionSA condemns the Government of National Unity (GNU) for its continued failure to support South African SMMEs, township entrepreneurs, and informal traders, a failure that has resulted in nearly 300,000 informal-sector workers losing their jobs in the fourth quarter of 2025 alone, along with the dignity and livelihoods they provide.
ActionSA has made its submission to the Revised White Paper on Citizenship, Immigration and Refugee Protection, anchored on ending the widespread abuse of South Africa’s immigration regime and ensuring that the urgent overhaul prioritises the rights, security and interests of South African citizens.
On Monday, 16 February 2026, ActionSA’s Central Candidate Selection Committee (CSC) will meet to finalise its selection of a Johannesburg mayoral candidate, ahead of the announcement set for Saturday, 21 February 2026.
After the first full year of the Government of National Unity (GNU), the President has heeded several of ActionSA’s calls for key reforms, reversing the pattern set in his previous nine SONAs, which were characterised entirely by fanciful tales and rehashed broken promises.
Today is a very special day for me. The plight of young people in our country is not something I observe from a distance. It is something I have lived alongside.
I have seen what it means for capable, determined young people to stand ready to work, yet remain excluded from opportunity.
Remarks delivered by ActionSA National Chairperson, Michael Beaumont at the 10th Event of the ‘Mashaba Legacy Tour.’
ActionSA has learnt on good authority that the metro municipalities of the City of Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, and Cape Town have all failed to table the auditor general’s report into the state of governance in those metro municipalities by the deadline set in law of the end of January this year according to the Municipal Finance Management Act.
ActionSA is deeply shocked by the alleged deaths of two children and the further hospitalisation of five more children following suspected food poisoning in the Msintsi Location, as well as Mdantsane in the Eastern Cape. A tragedy that should shock every South African to their core.
The outrage currently being directed at Xolani Khumalo by the EFF says far more about the state of South African politics than it does about his suitability to lead Ekurhuleni. In the aftermath of a deadly anti-drug operation in which a suspected drug dealer was shot and killed, the EFF has rushed to frame Khumalo as “unfit for office”reducing him to a mere “drug buster” who supposedly lacks political credibility.
