ActionSA

ActionSA is a political party in South Africa established in 2020 by Herman Mashaba, a former mayor of Johannesburg, shortly after he left the Democratic Alliance (DA).

[8] The party states that it has been established to "set South Africa free from the restraints of a broken political system and build a prosperous, non-racial and secure future for all its people.

Makhosi Khoza, Vytjie Mentor and David Tembe were amongst the former ANC politicians who joined the newly formed ActionSA.

As soon as the elections are over, voters who tested the waters with one of these new start-ups realise they got zero bang for their buck from a one-man party with a regional footprint, and they return to the DA.

Moodey claimed that "Herman left the DA because it gave up on the project of being a serious political party that could challenge and unseat the ANC.

On this claim, Mashaba noted that "[t]he IEC’s decision is based on a perceived similarity with another political party and the use of the SA flag in our logo.

[38] In January 2025, the party merged with Forum 4 Service Delivery (F4SD), and plans to contest the 2026 local government elections under the ActionSA banner.
