ActionSA has rejected the appointment of their Ekurhuleni Mayoral candidate and Moja Love’s Sizok’thola presenter, Xolani Khumalo, as the new Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Community Services and By-Law Enforcement in the Ekurhuleni municipality.
Khumalo was announced in the new position following a reshuffle conducted by Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza on Tuesday night.
In a statement issued by the party’s leader, Herman Mashaba, he said ActionSA categorically distances itself from a false media statement currently circulating, which purports changes to the Mayoral Executive in Ekurhuleni.
“This statement is entirely fabricated and does not reflect any engagement or agreement involving ActionSA. Following repeated and unsuccessful attempts by Mayor Xhakaza to solicit ActionSA’s participation in his administration, I have consistently made it clear that we will not join his failing government and have rejected every personal and formal approach made to us.
“Our position has been very clear on every occasion that we will not lend credibility to an administration that has overseen the lawlessness and deterioration of service delivery that continues to cripple the city,” he said.
Mashaba said the people of Ekurhuleni are tired of dysfunction, lawlessness, and the collapse of basic municipal services.
“ActionSA’s focus remains on restoring governance, rooting out corruption, restoring the rule of law, and fixing the fundamentals of service delivery.
“These are priorities we intend to implement when we secure a clear mandate from residents in the upcoming local government elections.
“I urge the public and the media to disregard the fabricated statement and to verify information through ActionSA’s official communication platforms,” he said.
