“I find the ANC to be humbled, and they have accepted the outcomes of the elections. They are not like other liberation parties on the continent. That is why I am giving them a chance,” he said.The partnership has proved fruitful for ActionSA as they have a mayor in the City of Tshwane.“We are working very well in Tshwane and Johannesburg,” he said.While Mashaba is happy with the ANC now, many have not forgotten the previous comments he made about the party.
