Until SA is fixed, I am going nowhere
11 October 2022
An article published on IOL online this afternoon has maliciously suggested that I may leave ActionSA – the political party that I founded to #FixSouthAfrica.
Nothing could be further from the truth and this is nothing more than dishonest and malicious reporting (published without comment being sought) that I will be personally addressing with IOL and the press ombudsman until it is retracted with a full apology.
The article attempts to suggest that there is some kind of conflict within our leadership structure about coalitions. While ActionSA has initiated a review of our approach, and while I expect our Senate to debate this matter fully – there is no difference of opinion about the fact that coalition with the ANC is not an option we will consider. On this we are unanimous in our view.
The leadership of ActionSA is a team which I lead. There have been no discussions which take place without my knowledge or without the mandate of decision-making structures of our party. To suggest otherwise is dishonest.
