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.

ActionSA welcomes the Pietermaritzburg High Court’s judgment delivered today, which ruled in favour of ActionSA’s legal action to hold the eThekwini Municipality accountable for the devastating sewage crisis.

ActionSA can confirm that during an anti-drug operation yesterday, joined by ActionSA’s Ekurhuleni Mayoral Candidate, Cllr Xolani Khumalo, a shooting incident occurred in which a Nigerian suspect, identified as being involved in drug trafficking, was shot. 

This morning’s transformer fire at the corner of Bree and Harrison Streets is the latest warning sign of a tailing electricity network in Johannesburg.

ActionsA Limpopo formally demands that every ANC councillor and Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) across all local municipalities in Limpopo undergo immediate and mandatory lifestyle audits.

Following successive surges in by-elections across Gauteng, ActionSA has once again demonstrated its exponential growth potential today, this time in Mogale City’s Ward 2, where the party went from not contesting in 2021 to securing 29%.

ActionSA welcomes and supports the decisive steps taken by Tshwane Executive Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya and her multi-party coalition to stabilise, protect and upgrade the capital’s electricity network following months of severe disruption.

ActionSA welcomes reports of the arrest of a Mozambican national suspected of murdering DJ Warras and extends its appreciation to the South African Police Service and the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police for their efforts in the operation.

Tshwane’s Eskom debt being reduced by over R2 billion further proves that Nasiphi Moya has pulled the City back from the brink and is now shaping it into a beacon of local government.

ActionSA welcomes the City of Tshwane’s formal submission to have companies linked to Edwin Sodi, which were involved in the Rooiwal Wastewater Treatment Plant, blacklisted.

ActionSA will abstain from the motion of no confidence being tabled against Dada Morero in Johannesburg. While his administration has been objectively disastrous, there is no clear or credible alternative plan for better government being presented and, as such, this motion risks becoming yet another round of musical chairs in the mayoralty, with no tangible benefit for residents.
