ActionSA commends the South African Police Service (SAPS) in KwaZulu-Natal for their decisive actions in recent days, which have led to the killing of multiple suspects.
ActionSA is pleased to extend its heartfelt congratulations to Justice Mandisa Maya on her historic appointment as the first female to hold this esteemed position. This milestone is not only a significant personal achievement for Justice Maya but also a landmark moment for our judicial system and our nation’s ongoing commitment to gender equality and the empowerment of women in all spheres of society.
ActionSA is deeply concerned about the unexpected postponement of the Ordinary Council by the delinquent Speaker, Mncedi Nzwanana, in the City of Tshwane today.
South African income inequality is amongst the highest in the world. Half of South Africa’s adult population lives below the poverty line, 39.7% of working-age South Africans are without employment, and only four out of ten South Africans under 35 are employed. This, in no uncertain terms, is a national crisis and urgent action is non-negotiable.
The architects of Apartheid reprehensibly constructed the classification of people into race groups, and the legacy of that racial classification remains a significant determinant in an individual’s economic and social prospects in South Africa today.
South Africa remains one of the most unequal countries in the world. The post-democratic government has not only failed to address the painful legacy of our past, but has in fact deepened inequality.
