These guys will most probably have my vote. Their policies and how they dissect their verdicts are really solid. I've been catching up with Herman now and then but I'm surprised that there are other solid leaders in the party with genuine integrity.
I'm not ActionSA but I like this guy. Very respectful of other leaders of different organisations. He's articulating his party policy very well. He is a well balanced and informed leader... Surely a rulling party could learn one or two things from this leadership... Thank you very much...🙏
“You cannot fix the problem in SA in partnership with the problem” - on the question of coalitions and specifically getting into a coalition with the ANC. Wholeheartedly agree.
I like how south Africans have came the conclusion that it's not a person to blame it's the party as a whole that is,in the words of mbalula disruptive, chaotic.
Ive seen the work that Herman Mashaba did whilst at JHB as a Mayor. Thats why Im voting ACTIONSA but I still maintain that leadership should have kept the much experienced Bongani Baloyi.
He was not fired, he resigned because he refused to be a national spokesperson. I agree that he was a valuable add to the ActionSA and it was indeed a loss. The ego got the better of him unfortunately.
I'm genuinely curious: what did Herman Mashaba achieve when he was mayor? I am a middle class Joburger and I saw no improvements in service delivery in my areas and surrounds during his time. So the question then is: was he better for working class or poor neighbourhoods - in which case I would happily support him. But his inner city police raids were declared unconstitutional by the Johannesburg High Court and I can't find any legitimate third-party, independent sources validating widespread improvements in the lot of Joburgers during his tenure. So it seems doubtful to me. I personally can't see what added value they could possibly bring to SA politics.
I the fact that he speaks stats and not just ideals. We really do need a new vehicle for bringing about change in our country. ActionSA is that vehicle I think. I would be voting for them and I will encourage others to do the same.
My decision is becoming more crystalised with every SMWX episode I watch. You and Dan Corder are doing the most important work right now. Kudos to you.
No Coalition will govern without the EFF though. If they are serious about getting ANC out they should know that they will need EFF😅 It's 2024 and you're still talking about a completely dead COPE. . . Why?
Action SA has managed to assemble a very good team with a sound manifesto but I feel like they are lacking in marketing their party. Mashaba should be crisscrossing the country by now considering that the elections are just around the corner.
Indeed! They especially need to reach people that in the outskirts of the city all the way to rural areas.. those are the people that typically decide the next national government.
Herman Mashaba is LITERALLY busy doing that as we speak. He is currently travelling to different towns in the Eastern Cape. I know first hand that ACTIONSA is busy every single day for the last year meeting new people, helping and strengething communities.
Actually I have same thoughts regarding coalitions with the ANC, but he had articulated the thought very well, any party that goes to coalitions with ANC will be suicide.😮
Iam curious , please assist ...Why isnt South Africans behind and voting for ActionSA ,since the party is NOT a black, white , christian or coloured party ...they are an inclusive party remember thats how ANC came in and that was the good old times when everybody was on board .. please guys consider ActionSA partly or mostly because all brains/skills/ will be on board for our future 🙏🙏🙏🙏
For me: I won't vote for ActionSA because they are too right-wing on the political spectrum. It is not enough that a party seems to be diverse (multiracial and multireligious/secular) on paper, I want them to have a real commitment to human rights. Herman Mashaba showed with his unconstitutional inner city Police raids and anti-migrant statements when he was Johannesburg mayor that he is prepared to engage in the scapegoating of our most vulnerable members of society. If I'm going to settle for a right-wing party then I just don't see what specific value ActionSA adds to the table, I might as well vote for the DA at that point. I'm going to give Rise Mzansi a chance. I don't get the impression that they are a far left party but they at least seem further to the left than either the DA or ActionSA, while also being diverse and multireligious/secular.
@ja9.b523 anything left will leave a socialist failure behind, which is what we've currently got. The only thing keeping it together is a few million loyal tax payers. People need jobs and economic growth to get the off the social system. Sure have a safety net but not 30 million people on grants which is what the ANC have done. What a disgrace! The next generation will grow up getting used to their parents NOT working and waiting in line each week for their grants!
@@ja9.b73 honestly I like that Herman was fighting against criminality and illegal immigration as staunchly as he was. That is needed in South Africa to gradually solve our many issues.
Micheal Beaumont you just convinced me who i will be voting for during the upcoming elections. Ive been looking for an alternative to the ANC and the DA. I think my vote will be going to ActionSA.
Wow ActionSA look like an excellent choice to fix our problems! Can't wait for the elections! If these guys get in, we will see the economy sky rocket and there will be proper job creation and lots of big investment coming in!
And one other thing, can Action SA point us to any work done in the wards and communities they manage? I would prefer to vote for those who have achieved something palpable. Seeing is believing.
They can. I see it every day here in the Eastern Cape. Athol Trollip is busy every day with his teams. Thousands of volunteers working towards a better South Africa. White men, black woman, coloured woman, Muslim men working together serving in townships in big cities. It's happening in South Africa and it's ACTIONSA. Don't miss it.
We live in a multiracial state. The inability to believe that people of all races can contribute to advancing South Africa is the failure of ANC and EFF.

More than 50,000 of civil servants are millionares. Those earning more than R1 million p month are the astounding number 55,000 - while service delivery is non existent??!! Just how clever is that? Stoking the fires with xeno is grossly irresponsible - culprit leaders + their parties, including those who are guilty of gross neglect, will be the 1st to reap what they sow. The victims of their doings will have the last say. No one wants a coalition with the anc, but it's the only way to get extra eyes on + to stop anc wasteful expenditure + gross looting - its not a task for small inexperienced parties/leaders without solid backing.

That's why Africa has never transformed for decades, those who look like us became worst oppresses than the colonizers! Hence more black South Africans are more poor,unemployed faced with high crime and inequality including Nyaope use which is destroying black boys and families while those who look like us ( black) are becoming more richer and richer just by being politicians
Agreed 😂. He's a bit too smooth for my liking. Also, I don't trust Herman Mashaba, his politics often veer too right-wing for my liking, and his legacy as major of Johannesburg was unimpressive IMO.
Does the ANC CADRES attend a different School of Politics to these other parties... Listening to these other parties convey any political topic and listening to the ANC trying to talk on the same topic is like chalk and cheeses... any south african that cannot see that we are taken for a ride by the ANC daily...
Great conversation...he's not entirely honest though. One of the most Effective coalitions in SA was between EFF and ActionSA, things got left when Actions SA got involved with certain people.
What’s wrong with being Pan African and why Africa countries are not allowed to become united and be one country, crime in South Africa is as much as it was during apartheid just that during apartheid we people were not allowed to report crimes that were committed against people during apartheid in actual fact if apartheid policies were not openly recorded no people could have said apartheid was crime against humanity. The decline of ANC is because of people small political parties that are emerging from ANC members that are being trying to be correct from their wrong doings.
Having recently watched the Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas of uMngeni Municipality on CZcams, where poor people now have solar powered street lights for safer communities as well as solar panels and inverters to assist them with load shedding and where local businesses are nurtured to prosper and grow, the DA is by far the most progressive, the most compassionate and the most experienced choice to take SA and the Multi Party Charter forward in 2024!!
I agree on coalitions . I personally cannot trust a party that is open to partnering up with the Anc because the Anc is the reason we are here so saying you'll partner with them means that they condone what the ANC as done to our land
😂 They see it's coming ryt, it's normal to be fought whn u are coming ryt EFF is nt south african party it is an African party, it it's growing in the whole of africa
Action SA has my vote after watching this interview. All the other parties don't want to touch immigration because they are tiptoeing around it and afraid to address it. Majority South Africans and especially those lower class are the ones suffering the most from illegal immigration. Our resources are thin and cannot accommodate other countries issues. We need to be firm. We also need to deal with all these criminals just enjoying life in our country without and recourse. Its unacceptable
I am watching the Gaza geno and I am seeing that mostly people who don't look like me are actually willing to negotiate whether people who look like me should be geno'd or not. Vote for people who equivocate on Palestine at your own peril.
Worry about basic service delivery in our own country. Clean water in the taps, refuse removal, houses, healthcare, policing, education, jobs etc Leave the Midddle East out of it!
@@garagepieyou don't think it is germane? We are practically the same country, they got invaded by a barbaric minority who seeks to take their land from them. The DA sanctioned the Phoenix massacre calling the vigilantes "heroes", that was very close to Israel enabling settler violence. Will you renegotiate your contention?
Go check the July riots footage if want to see barbaric! Have you ever considered how it was in the 15th century when Europeans arrived? The wheel hadn't been invented on the African continent yet...
47:40 "...the merit based consideration must hold sway". 100% exactly what is needed in government. No more cronyism, but nominating and selecting the right people for their positions. This multi-party charter is going to be interesting to watch!
I have question to people did white people come in South Africa correctly? Based on my understanding they did come in correctly from time Of Van Resbecca
The more i listen, the more I feel that if ActionSA runs this country that it'll be positive for young parties such as Arise South Africa. I was leaning towards Arises South Africa but ActionSA is ticking a good deal of boxes.
Im D.A.🩵we are way pass "new parties"..those who desire A Better Life to All 🇿🇦 these leaders must get over themselves their position..drain the Swamp!!! Make South Africa Workable Again!! 🎺👏💎
Just finished listening to the interview - what an informative thought provoking session, truly worth listening to. The clearest presentation of what his party stands for made in simplest terms for us all to understand. My only regrettable observation is that Michael's skin colour renders him "un-promotable" to presidency status, and that's a huge loss and a shame because this guy can be the coolest, calmest thinking president of RSA in my humble opinion but since we don't look beyond race in our beloved RSA we end up having to choose the lesser of all idiots. His analysis on the DA/PA relationship is simply brilliant - we need more Michaels in RSA.
It matters not who the Leader is, as long as SA citizens have jobs to put food on the table and don't rely on unsustainable grants. As long as our streets are safe, our kids can attend school and not be taught under a tree. As long as there will be service delivery, clean water, collection of refuse on time and developing South African communities.
Remember as a 24 year old entrepreneur Herman Mashaba learnt to surrounding himself with great minds irrespective of their race, hence he became very successful with a family and generational wealth by age 30!
Does it matter who the leader is if they do the job and this country works and functions and we don't have graduates standing at robots asking for jobs ? There's Bigger things at work than the colour of our skin
I'd love to hear more about how opposition parties are consolidating efforts to bring about a change in government. It always baffled me that the DA was pressed by losing votes in 2019 with Maimane as their candidate. A departing DA voter wouldn't vote EFF and is reasonably unlikely to vote ANC. Those votes effectively went to the VF+, the VF+ would never be big enough to govern alone and would never be a partner of choice for the ANC or EFF. The VF+ would be a natural ally in a coalition Multi-party charter coalition. So if ActionSA and the DA are serious about entering government - surely consolidated efforts should be taken to drive votes off the ANC? Where if we look at provinces like Gauteng and KZN are likely to be decided by single-digit % points- how are parties within the MPC working strategically to target the constituencies which fall in opposition camps? I also don't think that accessing these contested constituencies is going to be done through policy promises- the average South African voter isn't swayed to vote for a party because of fantastic ideas around macroeconomics. These voters need to engaged in a way that is familiar and is championed by the ANC, busses on election day, rallies, community meetings, church services and T-shirts.
I think ActionSA just sounds healthy. I'm leaning towards them. Remember South Africans if Bafana reaches the AFCON finals then the ANC will call for Elections, they're desperate for good news.
Action SA will die off from inability to identically separate themselves from DA. realised how many times i thought i was listening to a DA representative, then realized looking at my screen that it's not DA 🤣
@@fullmetaltheorist Yes, but the SACP does not contest in elections. They are part of the tripartite alliance and thus vote for the ANC. So the EFF, regardless of whether you like them of not, do fill a missing constituent niche amongst political parties. How is ActionSA meaningfully different from the the DA in terms of where they sit on the political spectrum?
@@ja9.b73 It is the rational hard line party that can unite people that the country has been missing. The eff is just the anc but more left wing. It's a huge dishonesty to call Action SA the DA. But, at the same time, the eff is literally the radical faction that split from the anc.
@@fullmetaltheorist 1) Uhm, a rational hard line party? What does that even mean, except being some words joined together on a page? 2) To say: the EFF is just like the ANC but more left wing, makes no sense either. Then, in fact, by your own words, it is not like the ANC. Instead it is more left wing. That's exactly the difference. 3) Also, you've not answered my question: How is ActionSA meaningfully different from the the DA in terms of where they sit on the political spectrum? They are both centre right parties. One could argue that ActionSA is less obviously racist in its leadership make-up than the DA; but on the other hand it is more obviously anti-immigrant in its rhetoric. And being anti-immigrant is ultimately racist, as the immigrants in question are our fellow Africans.
Used to take Action SA seriously as a real, formidable alternative to the anc till i realised that its just a disguised proxy for the DA, the DA led multiparty gang comfirmed that, what a waste of potential. Nevertheless good luck to them in their endeavors

@@tonitappous2422 save the electioneering rhetoric to those who don't know the state of coloured and black townships in Cape town where the DA has been in charge for the past +15 years, the murder capital of the continent, not to mention the absolute mess that this party has made of the "black areas", aka the townships of the city of Tshwane since taking over, yes indeed the DA does govern relatively well, but that good governance is evidently reserved for areas where its primary constituency is concentrated, while the rest of the DA voters are reduced to nothing short of voting cattle. This is ofcrs but one of a multiplicity of problems Im having with the DA, chief of which is the double standards and the blatant racism we've seen being displayed by your leadership in both word and deed, but good luck convincing people to pick you as their party of choice
"We do not need regional parties..... we need reginal leaders who have regional appeal...in the like of Zwakele Mngcwango, Athol Trolip, etc" The level of hypocrisy😂, these people think we stupid. Clearly they are shaken by President Zuma and very ignorant to the facts that are unfolding before their eyes.
R200 💰 a 1L of milk😢! BTW how do you get such info, I am interested to know? Is this open to public knowledge, or one has to have an inside info etc.??
Why would you document a person who came in illegally in the first place. We don't need economic migrants. They are too much in the country and they brought nothing to improve our economy. Scarce skills and business over 5Million and not spaza shops and saloons. You are loosing the point
Sizwe, please make me understand. Is Michael saying those who have been llegally here for the longest time will ultimately be naturalised or assisted with attaining the permits?? Is Action SA changing its tune on being staunch supporters of mass deportation? Because that was their selling point to me, so I'm confused now. We are few a months away from Elections, they must not betray us like this now.
Nope he did not say that, he was saying mass deportation and cutting off oxygen to forefingers is a big lie and populist rhetoric to fool voters! Immigration must be controlled through determining those who qualify to be in South Africa and those who don't!
Besides looking to politicians about what they say on this.. just take a moment and imagine this on your own, is mass deportation really practical? Yes this is an important issue but is it on your top 5 concerns as a South African?
@@KazieD It may be so, and as well, many countries have this problem but I don't believe mass deportation is practical.. I think some other consideration would need to made but at the end of the day they would need to ensure that everyone stays in the country legally.
SA opposition politicians always talk of blockading Zimbabwe/ZANU PF...they don't do their calculations well on how Zimbabwe can respond,that's when you'll see that SA has very little leverage on Zimbabwe...I think there is a study by some International Institute regarding this thought but the zero sum didn't play well for SA.
No No my bro you lost it what do you mean former oppressor maybe you are benefiting in this status quo we need skills to run this country look at the state organizations down ;whoever comes with skills to develop this country is welcomed let's not politicize everything;look at African countries they failed with that attitude. thanks
@@tonitappous2422 This is Africa 83% of the population is Black, this is not a country where each race is 1/4, Whites and Indians together are not even 10% of the population, and all the black, coloured and now indian leaders have all left the DA, which is a racist anti-black, white supremacist organization.
It's not rich, his ancestors went to war to be here and be part of South Africa. You need to accept that South Africa is not a typical African country but a multiracial country in Africa.
@@KazieD Please research African history before commenting. If we follow your logic, then the migrants who are here illegally should be offered the chance to join the SANDF and then be sent in peacekeeping operations around the continent before being granted citizenship? That is a good suggestion but I don't think our government has the means or the will to put this policy in place. Does Action SA have this in mind?
So flippen glad you have Michael on here. ACTIONSA is busy doing and will make South Africa proud. Vote ACTIONSA!
I can listen to him for hours, he knows where his party stands and represents it well.

Having recently watched the Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas of uMngeni Municipality on CZcams, where poor people now have solar powered street lights for safer communities as well as solar panels and inverters to assist them with load shedding and where local businesses are nurtured to prosper and grow, the DA is by far the most progressive, the most compassionate and the most experienced choice to take SA and the Multi Party Charter forward in 2024!!
I agree on coalitions . I personally cannot trust a party that is open to partnering up with the Anc because the Anc is the reason we are here so saying you'll partner with them means that they condone what the ANC as done to our land
@Sizwe please interview
kim heller 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The only problem with ActionSA is that they decided to be in the same club with the DA.
We need to work together with whites may be things will change
All these parties want to fight the EFF as if the EFF is the main opposition 😅
😂 They see it's coming ryt, it's normal to be fought whn u are coming ryt EFF is nt south african party it is an African party, it it's growing in the whole of africa
Exactly.
They are not even fighting the ruling party ANC😂
Action SA has my vote after watching this interview. All the other parties don't want to touch immigration because they are tiptoeing around it and afraid to address it. Majority South Africans and especially those lower class are the ones suffering the most from illegal immigration. Our resources are thin and cannot accommodate other countries issues. We need to be firm. We also need to deal with all these criminals just enjoying life in our country without and recourse. Its unacceptable
The ANC is taking us for poese!
I also like this guy views.
My vote goes to ActionSA without a doubt,clear mandate and vision.fighting no-one but fixing SA.
This is the real leader of Action SA... Mashaba is just there lure black voters....
I am watching the Gaza geno and I am seeing that mostly people who don't look like me are actually willing to negotiate whether people who look like me should be geno'd or not. Vote for people who equivocate on Palestine at your own peril.
Worry about basic service delivery in our own country. Clean water in the taps, refuse removal, houses, healthcare, policing, education, jobs etc
Leave the Midddle East out of it!
@@garagepieyou don't think it is germane? We are practically the same country, they got invaded by a barbaric minority who seeks to take their land from them. The DA sanctioned the Phoenix massacre calling the vigilantes "heroes", that was very close to Israel enabling settler violence. Will you renegotiate your contention?
@shafiyaalgiquadra1105 Jews are barbaric? Hahaha that's funny! Whatever
Go check the July riots footage if want to see barbaric! Have you ever considered how it was in the 15th century when Europeans arrived?
The wheel hadn't been invented on the African continent yet...
@@garagepie that poppycock would justify your barbarism if it were true? You helped the Africans so you get to take their land against their wishes?
This man is a forex trader: just listen to his vocabular😺
When are they going to have a national conference to elect leadership??
After the Elections 💚
47:40 "...the merit based consideration must hold sway". 100% exactly what is needed in government. No more cronyism, but nominating and selecting the right people for their positions. This multi-party charter is going to be interesting to watch!
It's very rich to get someone whose ancestors came to South Africa from Europe without any visa rant about African immigrants. Very rich indeed.
Nothing rich here! If you not South African, Enter the country illegally . If already here, hamba please. No politikimg.
I have question to people did white people come in South Africa correctly? Based on my understanding they did come in correctly from time Of Van Resbecca
MK is for the people by the people...
👀
Well.....here is a party.....mmmmmmmmmmmmm
The more i listen, the more I feel that if ActionSA runs this country that it'll be positive for young parties such as Arise South Africa. I was leaning towards Arises South Africa but ActionSA is ticking a good deal of boxes.
Im D.A.🩵we are way pass "new parties"..those who desire A Better Life to All 🇿🇦 these leaders must get over themselves their position..drain the Swamp!!! Make South Africa Workable Again!! 🎺👏💎
Just finished listening to the interview - what an informative thought provoking session, truly worth listening to. The clearest presentation of what his party stands for made in simplest terms for us all to understand. My only regrettable observation is that Michael's skin colour renders him "un-promotable" to presidency status, and that's a huge loss and a shame because this guy can be the coolest, calmest thinking president of RSA in my humble opinion but since we don't look beyond race in our beloved RSA we end up having to choose the lesser of all idiots. His analysis on the DA/PA relationship is simply brilliant - we need more Michaels in RSA.
Who can afford to maintain borders. ASA only has 3% of the vote currently.
I hope you know your African history.
Its difficult to choose between actionsa and pa
The real Leader of ActionSA, Hairman is just a front
You just have inferiority complex
It matters not who the Leader is, as long as SA citizens have jobs to put food on the table and don't rely on unsustainable grants. As long as our streets are safe, our kids can attend school and not be taught under a tree. As long as there will be service delivery, clean water, collection of refuse on time and developing South African communities.
Remember as a 24 year old entrepreneur Herman Mashaba learnt to surrounding himself with great minds irrespective of their race, hence he became very successful with a family and generational wealth by age 30!
Does it matter who the leader is if they do the job and this country works and functions and we don't have graduates standing at robots asking for jobs ? There's Bigger things at work than the colour of our skin
Any party with a white leader will lose elections anywhere in Africa
I'd love to hear more about how opposition parties are consolidating efforts to bring about a change in government. It always baffled me that the DA was pressed by losing votes in 2019 with Maimane as their candidate. A departing DA voter wouldn't vote EFF and is reasonably unlikely to vote ANC. Those votes effectively went to the VF+, the VF+ would never be big enough to govern alone and would never be a partner of choice for the ANC or EFF. The VF+ would be a natural ally in a coalition Multi-party charter coalition.
So if ActionSA and the DA are serious about entering government - surely consolidated efforts should be taken to drive votes off the ANC? Where if we look at provinces like Gauteng and KZN are likely to be decided by single-digit % points- how are parties within the MPC working strategically to target the constituencies which fall in opposition camps?
I also don't think that accessing these contested constituencies is going to be done through policy promises- the average South African voter isn't swayed to vote for a party because of fantastic ideas around macroeconomics. These voters need to engaged in a way that is familiar and is championed by the ANC, busses on election day, rallies, community meetings, church services and T-shirts.
I think ActionSA just sounds healthy. I'm leaning towards them. Remember South Africans if Bafana reaches the AFCON finals then the ANC will call for Elections, they're desperate for good news.
I alwyes wach your channel what is the process to bring a metter and you can discuss if you like
Send an email to email address in the description.
Action SA will die off from inability to identically separate themselves from DA. realised how many times i thought i was listening to a DA representative, then realized looking at my screen that it's not DA 🤣
Because he's smart and white right? 😎 I don't blame you, you are used to the dunderheads of the ANC/EFF/MK and the likes. Anyone smart threatens you.
The eff is ideologically similar to the SACP, yet here they still are.
@@fullmetaltheorist Yes, but the SACP does not contest in elections. They are part of the tripartite alliance and thus vote for the ANC. So the EFF, regardless of whether you like them of not, do fill a missing constituent niche amongst political parties. How is ActionSA meaningfully different from the the DA in terms of where they sit on the political spectrum?
@@ja9.b73 It is the rational hard line party that can unite people that the country has been missing.
The eff is just the anc but more left wing.
It's a huge dishonesty to call Action SA the DA. But, at the same time, the eff is literally the radical faction that split from the anc.
@@fullmetaltheorist 1) Uhm, a rational hard line party? What does that even mean, except being some words joined together on a page? 2) To say: the EFF is just like the ANC but more left wing, makes no sense either. Then, in fact, by your own words, it is not like the ANC. Instead it is more left wing. That's exactly the difference. 3) Also, you've not answered my question: How is ActionSA meaningfully different from the the DA in terms of where they sit on the political spectrum? They are both centre right parties. One could argue that ActionSA is less obviously racist in its leadership make-up than the DA; but on the other hand it is more obviously anti-immigrant in its rhetoric. And being anti-immigrant is ultimately racist, as the immigrants in question are our fellow Africans.
Used to take Action SA seriously as a real, formidable alternative to the anc till i realised that its just a disguised proxy for the DA, the DA led multiparty gang comfirmed that, what a waste of potential. Nevertheless good luck to them in their endeavors
You just have inferiority complex. You can’t process the idea of a black and white person working together
Having recently watched the Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas of uMngeni Municipality on CZcams, where poor people now have solar powered street lights for safer communities as well as solar panels and inverters to assist them with load shedding and where local businesses are nurtured to prosper and grow, the DA is by far the most progressive, the most compassionate and the most experienced choice to take SA and the Multi Party Charter forward in 2024!!
@@tonitappous2422 save the electioneering rhetoric to those who don't know the state of coloured and black townships in Cape town where the DA has been in charge for the past +15 years, the murder capital of the continent, not to mention the absolute mess that this party has made of the "black areas", aka the townships of the city of Tshwane since taking over, yes indeed the DA does govern relatively well, but that good governance is evidently reserved for areas where its primary constituency is concentrated, while the rest of the DA voters are reduced to nothing short of voting cattle. This is ofcrs but one of a multiplicity of problems Im having with the DA, chief of which is the double standards and the blatant racism we've seen being displayed by your leadership in both word and deed, but good luck convincing people to pick you as their party of choice
"We do not need regional parties..... we need reginal leaders who have regional appeal...in the like of Zwakele Mngcwango, Athol Trolip, etc"
The level of hypocrisy😂, these people think we stupid. Clearly they are shaken by President Zuma and very ignorant to the facts that are unfolding before their eyes.
It's obvious people Want Change..always pulling down D.A.please..eish..
There is no person who sound like his master's voice would be president this century in RSA.😅
Sizwe what do know about a small village that was to built. Find out from Michael coz yo ualwaysi in studio
R200 💰 a 1L of milk😢! BTW how do you get such info, I am interested to know? Is this open to public knowledge, or one has to have an inside info etc.??
Sizwe Mpofu Walsh, asking the soft hitting questions about the EFF. I wonder why.
Why would you document a person who came in illegally in the first place. We don't need economic migrants. They are too much in the country and they brought nothing to improve our economy. Scarce skills and business over 5Million and not spaza shops and saloons. You are loosing the point
How many is too much? Do you have any idea how many migrants we have in the country?
Kim heller 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Our People Love Criminals In Politics, Citizen Concerned, CZcams.
Chest pains Action SA. Why don't you sell us your manifesto instead of trying to be racist as expected..
Sizwe, please make me understand. Is Michael saying those who have been llegally here for the longest time will ultimately be naturalised or assisted with attaining the permits?? Is Action SA changing its tune on being staunch supporters of mass deportation? Because that was their selling point to me, so I'm confused now. We are few a months away from Elections, they must not betray us like this now.
REMEMBER ACTION SA FUNDED BY OPPENHEMERS THEY SUPPORT CHEAP LABOUR I WILL VOTE FOR GAYTON THE LAST HOPE PA
Nope he did not say that, he was saying mass deportation and cutting off oxygen to forefingers is a big lie and populist rhetoric to fool voters!
Immigration must be controlled through determining those who qualify to be in South Africa and those who don't!
Besides looking to politicians about what they say on this.. just take a moment and imagine this on your own, is mass deportation really practical? Yes this is an important issue but is it on your top 5 concerns as a South African?
@@desoxx Depends where you are on the social hierarchy for you to understand how much of a burning issue this is.
@@KazieD It may be so, and as well, many countries have this problem but I don't believe mass deportation is practical.. I think some other consideration would need to made but at the end of the day they would need to ensure that everyone stays in the country legally.
When your ancestors came hier they came here illegally. They never had passports. Viva EFF. Malema for president
go to hell with your EFF
EFF is so pro open boarders until it is a white person 300 years ago.
SA opposition politicians always talk of blockading Zimbabwe/ZANU PF...they don't do their calculations well on how Zimbabwe can respond,that's when you'll see that SA has very little leverage on Zimbabwe...I think there is a study by some International Institute regarding this thought but the zero sum didn't play well for SA.
No No my bro you lost it what do you mean former oppressor maybe you are benefiting in this status quo we need skills to run this country look at the state organizations down ;whoever comes with skills to develop this country is welcomed let's not politicize everything;look at African countries they failed with that attitude. thanks
16:22 Bring your own fokken water
The DAs Bantustan party still has white adminstrators pulling the strings.
Not true, the Top 6 in the DA has Black, White, Coloured and Indian members in it!!
The ANC/EFF Top 6 are all Black!
😂eyes wide open!
@@tonitappous2422 This is Africa 83% of the population is Black, this is not a country where each race is 1/4, Whites and Indians together are not even 10% of the population, and all the black, coloured and now indian leaders have all left the DA, which is a racist anti-black, white supremacist organization.
@@tonitappous2422which is good
In an 80% blck country, I would expect every political party top leadership to be 80% blck
Not convinced
I also like this guy views.
It's very rich to get someone whose ancestors came to South Africa from Europe without any visa rant about African immigrants. Very rich indeed.
EFF mentality
It's not rich, his ancestors went to war to be here and be part of South Africa. You need to accept that South Africa is not a typical African country but a multiracial country in Africa.
@@KazieD Please research African history before commenting. If we follow your logic, then the migrants who are here illegally should be offered the chance to join the SANDF and then be sent in peacekeeping operations around the continent before being granted citizenship? That is a good suggestion but I don't think our government has the means or the will to put this policy in place. Does Action SA have this in mind?
@@teknikairaoulolgandessabek4102 When did I say they need to join SANDF?? Are you able to think and reason before responding? Try that sometime.
