Action SA leader Herman Mashaba recently held a media briefing to announce the formation of a multi-party coalition in Tshwane. The event, which took place at the party’s headquarters in Johannesburg, was attended by members of various political parties as well as the media.
Mashaba, who was elected as the leader of Action SA earlier this year, expressed his excitement and optimism about the coalition, stating that it is a crucial step towards bringing change and progress to the city of Tshwane.
The coalition, which is made up of Action SA, the Democratic Alliance (DA), the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), and the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP), aims to work together towards a common goal of improving the lives of the people of Tshwane.
In his address, Mashaba emphasized the importance of putting aside political differences and working together for the greater good. He stated that the coalition is a testament to the fact that political parties can put the interests of the people above their own agendas.
The coalition agreement includes a number of key focus areas, such as job creation, service delivery, and fighting corruption. Mashaba highlighted the need for urgent action in these areas, stating that the people of Tshwane have been let down by the previous administration.
He also stressed the importance of inclusivity and diversity within the coalition, stating that it is a reflection of the diverse population of Tshwane. “We are committed to representing all the people of Tshwane, regardless of their race, religion, or political affiliation,” Mashaba said.
The DA’s Tshwane mayoral candidate, Randall Williams, also spoke at the briefing, expressing his support for the coalition and his confidence in Mashaba’s leadership. Williams stated that the coalition is a positive step towards bringing real change to the city and that the DA is committed to working closely with Action SA and other parties to achieve this goal.
The EFF’s Tshwane regional chairperson, Moafrika Mabongwana, echoed Mashaba’s sentiments, stating that the coalition is a historic moment for the city and that the EFF is fully committed to working with other parties to bring about meaningful change.
The ACDP’s Tshwane mayoral candidate, Wayne Thring, also expressed his support for the coalition, stating that it is a great opportunity to work together towards a common goal of improving the lives of the people of Tshwane.
The media briefing was followed by a signing ceremony, where representatives from each party signed the coalition agreement. The agreement outlines the shared vision and goals of the coalition and serves as a commitment to working together towards achieving them.
In conclusion, the formation of this multi-party coalition in Tshwane is a significant step towards bringing real change and progress to the city. The leaders of the various parties have shown great maturity and willingness to put aside their differences for the greater good. With a strong and united coalition, the people of Tshwane can look forward to a brighter future filled with opportunities and improved service delivery. The success of this coalition will not only benefit the people of Tshwane but will also serve as a positive example for other cities and municipalities in South Africa.
