ActionSA cleaned up Tshwane once the DA left: Dereleen James
She made the comments during the SABC's Cape Town Mayoral debate.
ActionSA mayoral candidate for the City of Cape Town, Dereleen James, defended the party's achievements in various municipalities during a recent debate ahead of the local government elections. Responding to a query from DA mayoral candidate Geordin Hill-Lewis, James highlighted the improvements made in Tshwane after the DA left office.
She mentioned a number of accomplishments, including a financial turnaround, with the party's first fully funded budget being initiated since 2021. Under ActionSA's leadership, Eskom debt was reduced by 25%, liquidity increased, and R11 billion in debt inherited from the DA was cleaned up. Additionally, the party ensured service providers were paid on time, resurfaced 220 km of roads, and addressed rising cases of femicide and gender-based violence in the country. James was addressing the mayoral debate ahead of November's polls.
