Minister Tito Mboweni’s medium-term budget speech has once again failed to provide the fiscal leadership needed in our country, falling far short of making the tough decisions necessary to cut government’s wasteful expenditure and reduce debt.
Today ActionSA has lodged its appeal with the IEC, challenging the decision of the Chief Electoral Officer to reject the registration of our party. According to the Electoral Commissions Act, the appeal against the decision of the Chief Electoral Officer will now be heard by the Commissioners of the IEC.
ActionSA is proud to announce that we have initiated the first in a series of private prosecutions. We have initiated these private prosecutions, fulfilling the first step which is to require the NPA to issue the nollie prosequi certificates that will empower ActionSA to prosecute these matters on behalf of the South African people.
ActionSA is working with the SAPS to investigate the murder case the murder of our slain volunteer, Mothusi Thibedi and offers a R50 000 reward to anyone who can assist the SAPS by providing information that will lead to the successful arrest and prosecution of Thibedi’s murderer.
ActionSA is pleased to inform South Africans that the young female police officer who was allegedly being sexually harassed by the Station Commander at Mashishing Police Station has now been approved for transfer to Eikenhoek as she had long been requesting. There she will be closer to her family and have access to much-needed community support
Your economic recovery plan tabled on Thursday did not fail to disappoint. At a time when we needed bold leadership, you delivered platitudes. At a time when we needed decisive action, you provided more of what has failed in the past. At a time where we needed a plan for real jobs, you delivered temporary work opportunities.
President Ramaphosa yet again chose party over country today in presenting his so-called “Economic Recovery Plan.” The president seems incapable of taking the tough reforms the economy needs, for fear of alienating factions within the governing party.
Positioned as the gatekeeper of who may or may not participate in our democratic process, the IEC holds a serious responsibility in public law which must be exercised with consistency and rationality.
ActionSA is deeply saddened by the tragic death of Mothusi Thibedi, one of our most esteemed volunteers in Soweto.
A resident of Moroka North in Soweto, Thibedi was a businessman involved in the funeral services sector and a trusted community leader and social activist.
