South Africa’s unemployment crisis is spiralling out of control, and the so-called Government of National Unity (GNU) remains missing in action.

ActionSA expresses deep concern over the unchecked and escalating crime in Eldorado Park, which has left residents living in constant fear and despair. Criminality—ranging from gang violence and drug peddling to police corruption—is eroding public safety and undermining confidence in law enforcement institutions meant to protect our people.

On this International Nurses Day, ActionSA pays tribute to the dedication, compassion, and professionalism of South Africa’s nurses.

In 2014, Helen Zille told South Africans not to “waste their votes on smaller parties.” A decade later, she is still singing the same tune, blaming voters for daring to support alternatives like ActionSA or independent candidates, as she did just last month after a narrow by-election loss in eThekwini.

ActionSA has written to the Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Gwede Mantashe, to renew our years-long appeal for the retrieval of the bodies of Solomon Nyirenda, Pretty Mkambule, and Yvonne Mnisi, in accordance with the Minister’s most recent undertakings.

ActionSA welcomes the arrest of Timothy Omotoso in East London and is especially pleased to learn that he will finally be deported from South Africa as he is no longer welcome in a country whose laws he has trampled and whose people he has treated with contempt.

ActionSA is not shocked by the revelation that 37% of audited Gauteng accounting officers failed lifestyle audits or were deemed high-risk, with 152 Government officials also conducting business with the State – contravening Section 8(2) of the Public Administration Management Act.

ActionSA firmly declares that Orania and Kleinfontein are not cultural enclaves but ideological fault lines.

ActionSA is deeply concerned about the worsening state of governance in our province, particularly the failure of six municipalities to submit their financial statements for auditing.

ActionSA wishes to extend its heartfelt congratulations to the global Catholic community on the election of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV, as the 267th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.

Remarks by ActionSA’s City of Johannesburg Chief Whip, Cllr Lebo Modukanene, during the council debate on the 2025 State of the City Address.

The City of Tshwane being named South Africa’s safest metro is not just a welcome title, but a testament to the progress being made by ActionSA Mayor, Dr Nasiphi Moya, ActionSA MMC for Community Safety, Hannes Coetzee, and the multiparty coalition in restoring the rule of law in our Capital.

ActionSA notes the Democratic Alliance’s announcement to table motions of no confidence in both the Executive Mayor of Johannesburg, Cllr Dada Morero, and the Speaker of Council, Cllr Nobuhle Mthembu, as yet another opportunistic ploy aimed at exploiting a city already in deep crisis.

ActionSA will write to the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, calling for urgent intervention into the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) to stabilise its leadership and governance.

Today, I rise not as a mayor, but as a voice of accountability and the proud leader of a caucus that has remained consistent in its mission— to bring ethical leadership and real delivery to Johannesburg.
