On 7 April 2021, ActionSA received reports of the burning and destruction of the settlement outside of Lily Mine where the families of the three miners who are trapped in the container that fell almost 70 meters underground on 5 February 2016 have been camping.

ActionSA welcomes the President’s announcement of the election date of 27 October 2021

ActionSA is calling upon every unemployed South African engineer to register their details with us so that we can fight for their rights to employment over opportunities being offered to Cuban engineers.

Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu’s pathetic defence of the indefensible decision to import Cuban engineers to assist with South African infrastructure challenges, should get her fired.

Yesterday I wrote to both the CEO of the SA Human Rights Commission, Adv. Tseliso Thipanyane as well as the Gauteng Provincial Representative in the Office of the Public Protector Ms. Winnie Manyathela informing them of the development of a raw sewerage dam matter brought to our attention by the residents of Birch Acres in the City of Ekurhuleni.

This morning Abel Tau, John Moodey and I fulfilled the promise we made to the Mamelodi Flood Victims earlier this year to provide legal support against the City of Tshwane and Gauteng Premier David Makhura who have both failed to deliver on their relocation promise.

ActionSA has confirmed news reports that the South African government has imported Cuban engineers to address infrastructure problems in South Africa.

This afternoon, 19 April 2021 at 14h00, my team and I as well as our legal team led by Wendel Bloem of Mkhabela Huntley Attorneys met with opera singer Sibongile Mngoma who leads the protesting artists and other creative arts practitioners involved in the peaceful sit-in that began on 3 March 2021 at the National Arts Council (NAC) in Newtown.

Today the Hammanskraal Water Inquiry Panel held a press conference outside the gates of the Rooiwal Wastewater Treatment plant after heaving been denied access to the facility by the City of Tshwane.

A City of Tshwane municipal official, known as Mr X, voluntarily came forward to testify at the Hammanskraal Community Water Inquiry today. His testimony has pointed the finger at serious irregularities in a R295 million tender awarded by the City of Tshwane to a joint venture involving a company allegedly owned by Edwin Sodi.

ActionSA has noted, with interest, a number of community and expert witnesses that are pulling out of testifying at the public hearings scheduled to begin in Hammanskraal tomorrow, after initially confirming their attendance.

As ActionSA, we believe that the residents of eThekwini deserve an ethical and competent government that can build an inclusive and prosperous city for all its residents. This will not happen under the ANC.

Today, ActionSA launched what we believe will be a game-changer in South African politics.

Last week the Executive Mayor of Tshwane, Randall Williams, declined an invitation to appear before the Hammanskraal Water Inquiry.

Last Thursday 8 April 2021’s detestable burning and destruction of the camping settlement outside Lily Mine where the families of Pretty Nkambule, Solomon Nyerende, and Yvonne Mnisi have been living since 30 April 2019 because they seek justice for their children have sent excruciating shivers down my spine.
