‘They are nervous about what is going to happen’: Mashaba says the gloves are off in Tshwane coalition as election day looms
Mashaba says political parties have begun campaigning in Tshwane, and his party is leading the pack.
ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has warned that tensions within the Tshwane coalition could lead to instability ahead of the upcoming election on 4 November. The coalition, led by ActionSA, is facing criticism over the actions of its mayor, Nasiphi Moya. Moya has been under attack from her coalition partners in the ANC and EFF, who claim she has implemented anti-poor and anti-black policies and engaged in corruption.
However, Moya and ActionSA deny these allegations. Mashaba stated that the coalition will remain strong until the election, and that the ANC and EFF are panicking due to ActionSA's growing influence in Tshwane communities. He argued that the ANC and EFF have failed to promote their own achievements while ActionSA has actively engaged with all communities.
Mashaba disputed claims that the ANC still holds overwhelming support in Tshwane and stated that his party is targeting voters who traditionally support the ANC. He expressed confidence that ActionSA could run Tshwane independently and emphasized that they were not attacking coalition partners in public.
