ActionSA has accused John Steenhuisen, the DA's leader, of wasteful expenditure due to his use of three luxury SUVs valued at over R1 million each for his security detail. This comes after Steenhuisen admitted to using these vehicles for official duties, contradicting previous DA statements that no ministers use blue light brigades. ActionSA has vowed to fight against such profligate travel and extravagance by politicians, particularly in light of the widespread poverty in South Africa.
