ActionSA challenges leaders of 4 largest political parties represented in Parliament to undergo lifestyle audits
15 April 2024
ActionSA has written to the leaders of the four largest political parties represented in the national assembly, being the ANC, DA, EFF and IFP, to agree to undergo voluntary lifestyle audits, by acclaimed independent forensics expert Paul O'Sullivan, within 14 days. O'Sullivan has already agreed to conduct these lifestyle audits at an approximate cost of R5,000 to R10,000, which ActionSA has offered to pay for.
If a country is plagued by trust deficit between political leaders and citizens, and high levels of moral decay and corruption, as ActionSA we must find a way to rebuild trust and give hope to South Africans. We must give South Africans the opportunity to vote for political leaders who are free from any corruption allegations and above reproach.
Therefore, on behalf of ActionSA, I am challenging the leaders of the four largest political parties represented in Parliament to undergo public lifestyle audits ahead of the 2024 national elections. As the leader of ActionSA, a party committed to ethical leadership, I have long volunteered to undergo a lifestyle audit and I believe these audits should then be published for public scrutiny.
There are simply too many accusations of possible corrupt activities among our political leaders to increase their assets and income, and a lifestyle audit will provide clarity as to whether voters need to be concerned. O'Sullivan furthermore has a long track record of independence and investigation, helping to unearth the corruption of former police commissioner Jackie Selebi, and any political leader seeking to represent the South African people would therefore accept the offer to clear their name.
