ActionSA lists reflect the diversity, youth and skills to fix SA
26 March 2024
Following a successful launch of our national manifesto on Saturday, ActionSA today reveals our candidate lists for the National Assembly and for all nine Provincial Legislatures which we will contest these 2024 elections.
Our lists have worked to combine the diversity expected from the most diverse and rapidly growing party in South Africa, an infusion of youth excellence and the necessary industry skills and experience needed to lead important portfolios in the National Assembly.
ActionSA’s candidate selection process began in September 2023 and was guided by a candidate selection policy that was the product of months of engagements within provincial structures. The process required a candidate, as a prerequisite, to either have a post-matric qualification or relevant industry experience applicable to the portfolios in the National Assembly or Provincial Legislatures.
Candidates had to produce the required documentation to prove that they have not been convicted of any criminal offence and to affirm that they were not the subject of any criminal investigation. Candidates were required to present evidence of a track record of community leadership and were examined on their ethics and value alignment. An interview was conducted with every candidate, which included practical assignments relevant to the work of a Member of the National Assembly or Provincial Legislature.
