One of ActionSA's demands to a potential partner in Gauteng is removing City of Johannesburg mayor Kabelo Gwamanda.
on its conditional support of a new government in the City of Johannesburg, first of which is the removal of executive mayor Kabelo Gwamanda from the Al Jama-ah.. He was elected through the support of the African National Congress , Economic Freedom Fighters , Patriotic Alliance and other smaller parties.In June 2023, ActionSA filed its first no confidence motion in Gwamanda.
“ActionSA has contemplated the fact that it holds a significant number of seats in Johannesburg, and we have concluded that the party cannot sit on its hands anymore as the metro continues its downward spiral to the detriment of Joburg residents. “It is for this reason that ActionSA will adopt the role of the constructive opposition, as we have done in Parliament about the grand coalition, and will make our support available to any government in Johannesburg on an issue-by-issue basis. To facilitate this constructive opposition role, ActionSA will take up several positions in the legislature so that we have the platform to hold any new government to account,” Mashaba explained.
“Thirdly, ActionSA will produce a series of motions, the purpose of which would be to position the City to turn around in critical frontline service delivery matters, including infrastructure renewal and the rejuvenation of the inner city,” he added. Mashaba said part of the agreement reached is that the ANC will facilitate the resignation of the current Speaker in the City of Tshwane, Mncedi Ndzwanana from the African Transformation Movement .
