Bongani has the experience and political acumen to do well in the public service his record is impeccable whilst being the youngest mayor under the DA in Midvaal i have witnessed and experienced his effective and efficient governance at face value as a resident in Meyerton at Henley on klip till today the systems he put in place are testament to his efficiency i wish him well in pursuant of a political home which will embrace his experience and expertise!!!
I saw his interview on SMWX RU-vid. He painted a picture that I thought to myself, "You are in the wrong team" it's a pity we don't get to see young leaders flourish. Lindiwe Mazibuko, Mmusi Maimane, Mandisa Mashego (even though I think her feminism is poison), Vuyiswa Tulelo, now Bongani or perhaps they are some of best I've seen.
I'll wait for ActionSA to respond. I must say, with all due respect to Bongani, Herman Mashaba will win with huge numbers without solid structures. We support ActionSA, however it has to relook the democratic processes.
I'm don't think I'll cast a vote for ActionSA anymore. I'm not sure if I should hold on to my membership or not. Mashaba might be exactly what many say Julius is, and that's something I'm not comfortable with. We can't play personality politics at a very critical time like this one.
The views are inspirational, I just wish the best of South African leaders could work together to overthrow the ANC, it's not about "my party", it's about liberating SA.
They call themselves leaders but they are so immature! Moving from place to place is an indication that you have a problem but you have a blind spot somewhere!
He doesn't call himself a leader. He's a leader with an unparalleled track record, demonstrating his capabilites and competence in being an effective leader.
True but lack the "National political experience" or the high level, long term strategy. I'm puzzled by his irritation with centralised decision-making as ActionSA is actually doing exactly what DA is still doing today. He has given credit to himself by his "I" statements. Sometimes, we overestimate ourselves..this is not Midvaal, but a National, fastest growing organisation in South Africa. If you go on the ground you will be surprised of how many people are waiting to be recruited by ActionSA Ground Forces 🤞
This guy has become the common denominator. From DA to ActionSA now somewhere else. All other parties cannot be a problem. He is is the common denominator.
Shooo! How can you be so blind? The ActionSA is going to collapse due to its stupidity. This is not a political party but a business project of the Oppenheimers. I explained it when the leadership attacked Dr. Makhosini Khoza with lies. Baloyi resigned in the DA without any conflict with the DA leadership, so stop making unfounded accussations against Baloyi.
Bongani should join ANC. How do you come to a new party and start demanding positions? Listen to him clearly, it's I Me Myself I I I, I birthed this I, Bongani Bongani Bongani
This is the young leader that South Africa needs. You're wise enough to create a new home for you g South Africans. I like this God wants you to lead. Listen to what God is calling you to.
it's amazing because two months ago we were talking about this with some of my friends. we could sense the insecurity from Ndate Mashaba but I didn't expect to happen so quick
So if you don’t get position you decide to move out? When demoted you move out. You are going to be known as soon party hopper. Mashaba can not just distrust you. It may be in relation to what you have been saying to people on the ground. Clearly you must have been speaking about the leaders weakness and how knowledgeable you are. You subconsciously saw yourself as a leader and started to lead, that’s why Mashaba was not happy about you.
Baloyi. Action SA is new, small and still a growing political party. It's too early demanding power to be decentralized. It can only ferment chaos and instability. As a progressive leader that you see yourself, you should have been persuaded to take the offer and became the National Party Spokesman until further notice.
He only had bad things to say about the DA, like all black politicians who leave the DA. Surprising how ungrateful black politicians are, when the DA launched their very credible careers in politics. Entitlement?
This is what happens when leadership positions are being awarded willy nilly without being voted into these position. I bet there’s intense back stabbing for these leadership leadership positions
Okay! Listening to this Mr Baloyi mind you I really don’t know this party- Action SA, or EFF and Cope,!so this is really a show of personality clashes and assessing and analysing each other and saying I have credentials I am educating I can do this better than so and so! If Bongani is well conversed and transparent to himself and his colleagues! He would follow conflict resolution processes and stay! As I see him now he is job-hopping and once you start this! It’s not going to stop! How many parties he’s been in now! I find it extremely difficult to assimilate the manner in which we South Africans come across! We want to apply urban sentiments in politics! Do you remember Brenda Fassi’ s song! Mna ndi phila nobani ndi hamba nge modo ezinjani! We aren’t going anywhere with these attitudes! Look at the leader of the EFF! The guy is outrageous! Disrespectful! Wanting go hit one bird with two stone One impressing the youth that he could be in charge yet going out and enjoying with those same youth and back on Monday thinking he will attack the ruling party about their botched education policy ! You are enticing the youth to embrace self destructive behaviour. , drinking and stuff like that! Two pompous nature! He goes on this EFF leader saying when Nelson Mandela came out of prison he was in front in Santon and shake his hand! But the guy came to Oxford University desperate to score points he started labelling Nelson Mandela a sellout who abandoned the freedom charter! All this nonsense ! The guy is just so delusional man! I was listening today when a young Kenyan girl! Eloquent girl! Address the French president and how they mentioned Nelson Mandela’s name with excessive pride!! ❤
I wish as voters, as ordinary S.Africans can learn something from leaders who exit when their aspirations are not longer served...we need to vote as these leaders move...this thing of 1 party all your life is definitely a disservice to ourselves
As much as his well spoken and articulate,please listen to his responses it's mainly about I did this,me me me,I'm the reason this is working and it's all about him and wanting to portray himself as the one Making ActionSA work
I was a Deputy Mayor under Aljamah Party since 2021 in my Municipality in Harding Kzn When they compelled me to work with the ANC I resigned without any hesitation and regret How can I take People's votes and trust on me and use it like a toilet paper to wipe the filthy Bums of the corrupt ANC Never I resigned
They way this politician fight is obvious there is lot of money in this political parties, people can't just fight for nothing. Money has killed politics in SA
Every organization has the Good and the Bad,it's how you manage to learn to embrace the two,it's like a relationship ship,otherwise you end up jumping from here to there,eventually will thing you are still immature.
Oh!since his wife is an IFP member i guess he might easily be headhunted and offered a senior position but his sense of independence might be tested at such a party!
You still do not understand Baloyi, your cognitive dissonace makes to so blind to the truth. This party is falling before it rise, watch what will happen to it after the 2024 National Elections.
Bongani seems to be a smart guy and should not be lost to politics, neither (heaven forbid) should he start another party. Ego's should be set aside and he rejoin the DA, without demanding a snr position.
Mashaba cannot lead any political party, he is not a bright mind when it comes to politics, he can run an administration with his business skills, however, he is totally a mess when it comes to running party, what more in running a country.
Africa and it’s people have a very long way to go before democracy will work. Just look at the ridiculous number of political parties and more to come. Education and maturity required.
Myself I don't know😳.. Mina I was told! 😳. Sangoma!😲 Mr creature your wasting state money peoples tax moneys are being wasted on this mickey mouse parties
You were missing the very good structures and democratic rules in the DA. You were power hungry and Action SA gave you a more senior position as the premier candidate for ASA. You were greedy and now you seem to be in a political wilderness.
A skokfel will always have a problem cause only one man wants to lead or should I say rule and if they see a challenge they just decide unilaterally 🤷🏾
Im sorry, but all and any interview that I see of Mr Mashaba shows how insecure and unshure he is of himself. He doesnt articulate clearly and can never give solid policy drivin answers to the questions posed to him. Im sorry but SA needs an extremely strong leader. Herman is not that man.
Mashaba is not very fluent in English. He turns to use words very irresponsibly. I wouldn't be surprised if he probably wanted to say something different...
I mean… maybe its just you baloyi maybe its just you- maybe being parachuted into high position because of your skin color has left you with unrealistic life expectations
