ActionSA is a political party in South Africa established in 2020 by Herman Mashaba, a former mayor of Johannesburg, shortly after he left the Democratic Alliance (DA).[9]
The party states that it has been established to "set South Africa free from the restraints of a broken political system and build a prosperous, non-racial and secure future for all its people."[10] and that it follows the ideal of "Act as One to build a prosperous, non-racial and secure future for all South Africans."[11]
In the 2024 general election, ActionSA won six seats in the National Assembly with 1.2% of the vote.[12] In June 2024, ActionSA declined an invitation to join the ANC-led Government of National Unity.[13]
