There can be no question that the 2024 elections saw political parties drive voter choice with tactics of identity and fear.

ActionSA expresses our deep concern over domestic intelligence failures in South Africa over the past week, including the 95 Libyan nationals who were arrested for possible military training and the Mexican national who were arrested for a R2 billion drug manufacturing facility.

ActionSA commends the South African Police Service (SAPS) in KwaZulu-Natal for their decisive actions in recent days, which have led to the killing of multiple suspects.

ActionSA is pleased to extend its heartfelt congratulations to Justice Mandisa Maya on her historic appointment as the first female to hold this esteemed position. This milestone is not only a significant personal achievement for Justice Maya but also a landmark moment for our judicial system and our nation’s ongoing commitment to gender equality and the empowerment of women in all spheres of society.

Today, the residents of KwaZulu-Natal were presented with a budget speech by the MEC for Treasury, Hon. Francois Rodgers. Regrettably, this address mirrored the budget speech delivered by the former MEC for Treasury, Ms. Neliswa Nkonyeni, on 7 March 2024 word for word.

ActionSA’s Senate has met to deliberate on matters arising from its review of the 2024 national and provincial election, including representations made by ActionSA caucuses in the Gauteng Metros about the dire state of these municipalities, particularly in Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni.

South Africa stands at a critical juncture. The establishment of a Government of National Unity (GNU) is being hailed by some as a panacea for our nation’s woes. However, as someone deeply invested in the future of our country, I must assert that this move is not the solution South Africa needs.

ActionSA calls on the Minister to ensure that the thousands of side-lined police reservists are fully integrated into SAPS crime-fighting efforts.

ActionSA is deeply concerned about the recent submission by the ANC to table a motion of no confidence on the Tshwane Executive Mayor, which poses a significant threat to the stability of the coalition government.
