Africa-Press – South-Africa. ActionSA said that it won’t be held to ransom by its coalition partners in Tshwane, after snubbing an ultimatum to recommit or exit from the pact.
ActionSA is part of five political parties that have been governing the capital city since the 2021 local government elections.
However, the party has recently announced it is reviewing its participation in the coalition after striking up a relationship with the African National Congress (ANC).
Last Thursday, the four parties in the Tshwane coalition wrote to ActionSA giving it until Sunday midnight to indicate whether it was staying or leaving the pact.
ActionSA responded on Friday, saying it would not be rushed with its review process.
The party’s regional spokesperson Tshepiso Modiba said the review was still ongoing and ActionSA would communicate the outcomes on its own deadlines.
“It’s really not fair and we believe as ActionSA we are an independent political party and we won’t be held ransom by the DA (Democratic Alliance) or any other party.”
ActionSA said the review would inform how it plans to vote on the motion of no confidence against Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink later in September.
