ActionSA moves to stabilise Joburg, with Ekurhuleni being next
22 July 2024
ActionSA’s Senate has met to deliberate on matters arising from its review of the 2024 national and provincial election, including representations made by ActionSA caucuses in the Gauteng Metros about the dire state of these municipalities, particularly in Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni.
At the heart of the declining condition of these municipalities is the instability that has persisted in these coalitions as coalition partners, especially in Johannesburg, seek to condition their support for matters of governance based on extraneous issues to Johannesburg or its residents.
The tenure of Mayor Kabelo Gwamanda, like his predecessor, has been an unmitigated failure with the evidence of the downward spiral of Johannesburg evident all around the City.
ActionSA has contemplated the fact that it holds a significant number of seats in Johannesburg, and we have come to the conclusion that the Party cannot sit on its hands anymore as the City continues its downward spiral to the detriment of Joburg residents.
