Beautiful South Africans 🇿🇦, don’t fold. This is your home. We have no intentions of becoming refugees anywhere. We must continue to mobilize on all fronts until we get a government that will do what is in the interests of South African citizens. This government isn’t for us.

Which ActionSA voters are they referring to here.
#ActionSA voters have warned #HermanMashaba against an #ANC coalition as his 2021 promises clash with his feud with #HelenZille and coalition talks.

Stage 1
Use commentary and media to put pressure, if that doesn’t work:
Stage 2
Have DA callers pretend to be from ActSA and put pressure, if that still doesn’t work
Turn up the heat: Stage 3
Threaten about the markets.
WHY CANT THE DA NEGOTIATE COALITION LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
Khustaz retweeted
The DA did NOT win anything.
It's high time we reported captured media to @SAEditorsForum & other bodies. This is out of order!
The DA won five Gauteng municipalities, but that doesn’t mean it will govern dailymaverick.co.za/article/…

A few more graphs, the trend is rather consistent.
-DA stagnation over a 10 year period
-ANC fractionning into smaller parties,
-EFF basically reached their peak,
-MK and ActionSA picking up most of the ANC loss,

I grew up around the townships of Cape Town; Langa, Gugulethu, Nyanga and Khayelitsha. I knew hard-working black people. I watched them fill overcrowded trains in the mornings, sometimes literally hanging out of the doors, on their way to work. 2/

ActionSA does not have a problem with the DA, we have a problem with mayoral candidates like Helen and Cilliers that have proven incapable of coalitions.
Evidence: ActionSA close to locking down a deal in NMB with the DA and Retief Odendaal.

@SAPoliceService, kindly treat this case with the HIGHEST PRIORITY.
No South African entrepreneur should be terrorised, assaulted or intimidated for operating a Spaza Shop in our communities. We cannot allow criminals who enter our country illegally to dictate who has the right to do business in South Africa. The rule of law must prevail and South Africans Must Be Protected!!

I heard him talking about bootsrapping his entire campaign on radio.
This man is no one's puppet as some would like to believe.
He accepts funding where it is offered because frankly every party needs it, but the difference is that he never compromises on his goals for his party. That has apparently led to situations where funding had to be withdrawn in many instances.

DISCLAIMER: These are my personal views and do not represent the official position of ActionSA.
The narrative being pushed by the DA that ActionSA would be betraying its voters by engaging the ANC in coalition discussions is insane. Before we even go anywhere, the DA itself is in government with the ANC at national level. So why does it work for them, but suddenly becomes a betrayal when ActionSA does it?
🚨Why DA shouldn’t be an option!
My concern with the DA’s approach to coalition politics is the recurring difficulty of collective accountability. You cannot build a sustainable partnership with a party that expects to dictate the terms of engagement, struggles to accommodate differing views and treats every disagreement as grounds to threaten the relationship- this is what caused the DA/ActionSA coalition to collapse in joburg
The DA has consistently approached coalition politics with a big-brother mentality. There is an expectation that everyone must fall in line, that their position must take precedence and that other parties must simply accept their terms. That is not how coalition government works and this is what cause instability
Khustaz retweeted
Any party that works with DA is self sabotaging itself and it's voters.
I will never forget how DA council members choose to spoil ballots when voting for ActionSA speaker in Tshwane when they had a coalition
Khustaz retweeted
I support the call for Helen Zille to step aside. She is polarising and toxic and she don’t think she even likes black people. We deserve better!!
💚🤍💚🤍✊🏾✊🏾@Our_DA do the right thing and just tell @helenzille to STEP ASIDe for the good of Gauteng!@HermanMashaba is willing to step aside for the good of Gauteng!!
Khustaz retweeted
35% of you want the DA in Joburg. Are you trying to say that 65% of voters are beneficiaries of corruption tenders?
Khustaz retweeted
Preparing to receive more political parties today to discuss shared ground in fixing broken municipalities and stabilizing services.
We know in coalition every party is equally important because they represent South Africans and they may be the vote that passes budget.
Khustaz retweeted
I wrote this piece because I don’t want South Africans to be left guessing about ActionSA’s intentions. Our voters deserve to know what we are doing, how we are approaching these negotiations, and how we intend to honour the mandate they have given us. I owe them that honesty, and there are some frank admissions I believe need to be made, even if other political leaders shy away from them.
The first is that coalition negotiations are portrayed as a chaotic contest of political strength, with parties seeking to outmanoeuvre one another, extract concessions, or show who holds the upper hand. There is a lot of truth to this perception. But ActionSA wants to use the next few days to show that there is another way of approaching these negotiations.

@HermanMashaba fought tooth and nail to keep @mphophalatse1 as Mayor, @OnsBaizaNie requested two MMC positions, @Our_DA offered one, we were ready to walk away until @Action4SA offered us their seat to make it two and @Our_DA still refused and that’s the Gods truth.
Khustaz retweeted
DA wanted to destroy ActionSA! In Tshwane they spoil votes so that ActionSA mustn't have speaker portfolio' very abusive and bullying self-righteousness Globalists.
Khustaz retweeted
As an ActionSA voter I can tell you right now, for free, I would rather have an ActionSA/ANC coalition over an ActionSA/DA coalition any day.
Also, what ActionSA does with our votes should not concern you, akere they are not your votes!
So basically the people who used to vote for the ANC, voted for ActionSA, and got the ANC. There’s going to be so much buyer’s remorse.
Roman is right, if you can get government out of your life, you’ll survive. Thrive, even. If you can’t… then I’m afraid this election was rather a waste of your time
