On Saturday, something happened that made me stop and think deeply about the election we are heading into in Johannesburg.

Cilliers Brink’s latest attempt to manufacture a crisis in Tshwane demonstrates how far the DA’s mayoral candidate is prepared to go to mislead residents for his own political benefit.

ActionSA is gravely concerned about the recent decision taken by the ANC led administration in the City of Joburg’s Council to appoint Lesiba Malotana as Head of the City of Johannesburg Public Safety Department.

ActionSA will lay an ethics complaint against Minister of Water and Sanitation Pemmy Majodina following her disgraceful verbal attack at a ministerial event.

It must be made clear to the residents of Ekurhuleni, especially exploited workers, that the ANC has never had an appetite for insourcing. Its true position was exposed in 2022 when it voted against the insourcing motion.

The latest economic growth figures released by Stats SA are a damning indictment of the GNU and its failure to turn South Africa’s economy around. 

ActionSA is proud to announce the first step in our action plan to Make Cape Town Affordable Again, with FREE MyCiTi passenger trips on weekdays for residents.

ActionSA has today exposed yet another shocking failure of governance at the Road Accident Fund (RAF), where R29,112,640.19 was paid to just 16 employees who were sitting at home on suspension some since 2024. 

ActionSA is not surprised by credible reports that the DA is considering promoting Cape Town councillor Abdulkader “AK” Elyas to either Parliament or the Western Cape Legislature, despite guilty findings relating to the falsification of his qualifications and his dishonesty.

Almost eleven years after Solomon Nyirenda, Yvonne Mnisi and Pretty Nkambule were entombed underground at Lily Mine, their families are no longer asking the State to prosecute on their behalf.

The State has already declined to do so.

Sport, Arts and Culture Minister, Gayton McKenzie, must account for the reckless, unilateral manner in which he announced a national ‘takeover’ of the Soweto Marathon bypassing the Gauteng Provincial Government entirely, trampling on the constitutional principles of cooperative governance, and chasing headlines instead of doing the hard work of accountability.

ActionSA Joburg MMC Candidate for Transport, Cllr Lebo Mokoka in her capacity as Transport Whip, has formally written to the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA), and the MMC for Transport, calling for urgent answers regarding the Molapo Bridge development in Soweto and serious concerns raised by residents about storm-water management and flooding.

ActionSA condemns the outage of the SAPS 10111 emergency line in Cape Town, leaving residents without a critical lifeline to police assistance when they need it most.

This statement follows the unveiling of ActionSA Nkangala Mayoral Candidate Mary Phadi’s election campaign poster in Nkangala today.

The year is 2019. The Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg proudly stands before 42 brand-new ambulances being handed over to the City’s Emergency Management Services (EMS), a critical function within the Public Safety portfolio.
