ActionSA and other opposition parties met on Saturday night to discuss mayoral candidate The ACDP and ActionSA have disapproved of the DA's mayoral choice, urging that the metroThe DA maintains that it would only interact with parties that have no ties with ANC-EFF and would bring stability.
The move has been criticised by the DA's former coalition partners with ActionSA taking a lead in condemning the move. ActionSA's national spokesperson, Michael Beaumont, disclosed that the ACDP, United Independent Movement, and IFP would meet on Saturday evening to discuss a way forward, including their recommendations for the city's mayoral candidates.
"It's like a multiple personality disorder, isn't it?" Beaumont said, adding that the one week the DA proposes holding hands, joining together, and putting the past behind them and the next it sends a letter collapsing coalition talks.Despite the DA distancing itself from the potential alternative coalition, Beaumont said ActionSA remained"open" to the pact. Beaumont added that party leader Herman Mashaba has, however, written to Steenhuisen.
He added that Phalatse was nominated due to her prior experience as mayor and the party"believe she will be the best option to bring stability to the government in Joburg given her experience". He expressed uncertainty about whether a mayor would be elected at the special sitting on Tuesday, which he considered"problematic".
