ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has slammed the Democratic Alliance for “fear mongering” in its ongoing war of words over his party entering into a working relationship with the African National Congress in Joburg and ousting the DA Mayor from Tshwane with the support of the ANC. “The DA, unfortunately, the mistake that they're making is to think that they are the only people who governs and they must govern on their own…They negotiate like we live in a one-party state and military rule.” Speaking to BizNews following the election of an ActionSA Mayor in Tshwane, he expresses determination to turn the capital city around. “And I think this time around, having the ANC, provincial and national behind this….This will make it much easier…we are going to take advantage of this relationship to build one United South Africa, provide services to all the residents…We will want the residents to hold us accountable.” As for working with the ANC, he says: “…I really hope that they've got a wake-up call because if not, if they thought they were punished with a recent election, if they don't really turn around, they will be further punished.”
