Dear Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga, This Monday, before I could start the day’s commitments, I received a call that left me deeply disturbed.

South African politics has developed a dangerous habit – every time a political party refuses to bow to public pressure, or opportunistic coalition politics, it is immediately labelled as an arrogant party that focuses on self-interest. Currently, that party is ActionSA, and the man at the center of media vitriol is Herman Mashaba.

ActionSA reiterates its call for the dismissal of the Ministers of Employment and Labour, Trade, Industry and Competition, and Small Business Development following StatsSA’s announcement today that the economy grew by a meagre 0.5% in the first quarter of 2026.

ActionSA recently visited the residents of Skierlek in Ward 29, Doornkop, where the community has endured an ongoing water crisis for more than 15 years.

ActionSA Health and Wellness Spokesperson in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature Emma More, has officially responded to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC), formally expressing strong disagreement with the Commission’s recent explanations regarding non-national public healthcare utilisation.

The SAPS has declined ActionSA’s PAIA application for access to crucial documentation pertaining to the prosecution of the suspects accused of robbing the Phala Phala farm.

ActionSA remains concerned that the Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency’s Fourth Quarter Report confirms many of the issues we have consistently raised about poor delivery and declining value for money in the province’s tourism sector.

ActionSA extends its sincere condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Mzoli Ngcawuzele, affectionately known as Ta Mzo, following his passing.

ActionSA is concerned by the slow pace at which the newly constituted Parliamentary Section 89 Committee is being established to investigate whether President Cyril Ramaphosa committed serious violations of the Constitution or the law.

ActionSA calls on the Special Investigating Unit to act decisively and without delay to attach the assets of former Ekurhuleni City Manager Imogen Mashazi.

The ongoing pattern of mismanaging public funds through the City of Joburg’s entities is one of many crises. Residents experience daily power outages, water shortages, uncollected refuse, and deteriorating road infrastructure.

ActionSA is disappointed by President Ramaphosa’s weak and reactionary address, which does nothing to address the immigration crisis created by the ANC and perpetuated by the failing GNU government

ActionSA is deeply concerned by reports that the South African Police Service (SAPS) has raided the home and office of another City of Cape Town Mayoral Committee (Mayco) member as part of an ongoing investigation linked to allegations that a Cape Town businessman attempted to bribe the City Manager with R1.4 million.

ActionSA Women’s Forum is deeply saddened and outraged by the brutal killing of an 18-year-old learner from Braamfischerville, whose life was tragically cut short in a violent panga attack.
