ActionSA Affirms its Commitment to Providing the Alternative South Africans Need
28 February 2021
ActionSA notes newspaper reports this morning in which the DA has abandoned the project of unseating the ANC, apparently adopting the philosophy of ‘if you cannot beat them, join them.’
This comes after a depressing month in which the SONA and Budget Speech have South Africans despairing about the future of their country.
ActionSA does not delight in this latest news. It is tragic for our democracy that the official opposition has added to this by electing to become a third faction within the ANC. There is no good ANC and bad ANC; only the ANC that has looted, failed and deprioritised the South African people over their own agenda of patronage.
I will not respond to the attack Steenhuisen has launched against my Mayoralty. His dishonesty is proven by his amnesia that it was he, and not I, that was one of the many who voted for the arrangements which depended on the EFF in coalition. His remarks, especially when it comes to allegations of tender interreference are libellous and our legal team will address this with him directly.
