Yesterday, ActionSA Joburg mayoral candidate Herman Mashaba officially welcomed a group of what he described as 200 disillusioned ANC members in Thembelihle, Lenasia, as part of his campaign in the run-up to the elections. Mashaba claims 200 disillusioned ANC members join ActionSA“These ANC members are joining ActionSA with certainty that we are the only viable alternative that can rescue Johannesburg from chronic misgovernance under the leadership of mayor Dada Morero,” he said. “There is no way ANC members of that magnitude wake up today and decide to agree to leave the ANC,” he said. Political analyst Rene Oosthuizen cautioned against confusing 200 ANC defections to ActionSA with genuine political change. “Whatever the case may be, this is the type of activity that makes the necessary propaganda for political parties such as ActionSA.
