Former DA member and now ActionSA president Herman Mashaba continues to haunt his former party after snapping up another top leader who resigned from the DA and joined his party. | JKwritingz
The DA has lost yet another senior party member to Herman Mashaba's ActionSA.
ActionSA president Herman Mashaba continues to be a thorn in the side of the DA, his former party, after snapping up yet another top DA leader. Shackleton is a resident of Ward 96 in the Tshwane metro, where a by-election is set to take place next Wednesday. He said one of the reasons for his resignation was because of how the DA treated his community in Ward 96.After all, how can you be part of a party that mistreats your own community where you live? I have witnessed how the DA did nothing to support the previous councillor, Hannes Coetzee.
"Now, when there is a by-election happening in our ward, suddenly, it is like the DA realised for the first time that my ward and my community existed," he said. "For someone who claims to have a master's in constitutional law, it's disheartening for him to be so dishonest. The allegations that he made are all lies, it's all fake. In terms of giving support to our councillors, he would have known that the DA was the only party in the Tshwane Municipality to have financially supported its councillors. No other parties did that when they were not given salaries," said Nel.
Nel said it was concerning that"ActionSA and Mashaba have decided to try and raid the DA cupboards rather than focusing on the main problem in society that is the ANC".
