ActionSA and another political party have officially merged, with Dr. Mbahare Kekana taking on the newly created role of deputy president. Kekana's extensive academic qualifications and commitment to social justice make him a prominent figure in the newly formed party.
Mbahare Kekana has been appointed to the post of deputy president in the newly merged ActionSA party. The two parties, previously separate entities, announced their decision to join forces and contest elections under a unified banner during a media briefing on Wednesday. This strategic alliance prompted ActionSA to amend its constitution, creating the position of deputy president specifically for Kekana.
Prior to this amendment, ActionSA's leadership structure consisted solely of the president and national chairperson roles. ActionSA highlighted Dr. Kekana's extensive academic background as a key factor in his appointment. His PhD in political science, Master's degree in governance, Bachelor of Law degree, and Postgraduate Diploma in Management provide him with a comprehensive understanding of political science, constitutional law, administrative law, and human rights law. ActionSA emphasized his unwavering dedication to justice and his passion for advocating for marginalized communities as defining characteristics of his personal and professional ethos.An independent study conducted in 2024 recognized Dr. Kekana as the most qualified political leader in the country, underscoring his esteemed reputation within the political landscape.
