'Don't criticise DA in public,' ActionSA tells members ahead of negotiations

In his memo to ActionSA members, Beaumont said public criticism of the DA could compromise the coalition negotiations that are about to ensue between the various parties.

“To create an environment conducive to such, all structures and members of ActionSA are directed to cease any form of public criticism of the DA or any party, other than the ANC, that we may seek to build coalition arrangements around,” said Beaumont. “This is necessary to ensure that an environment of mutual trust can be built between parties during these discussions and to ensure that ActionSA must never be viewed as placing politics before the people of our country.”

Beaumont said structures of the party should ensure that the message reaches all party members and that they adhere to it.ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has made it clear that the votes his party gave to the DA wereSince Mashaba wanted to be mayor of Johannesburg, he may seek an important portfolio on the mayoral committee.

National Chairperson Who nominated him of is this a self nomination?

No wonder Mashaba is gone so quiet. From tweeting 10x an hour to tweeting once every 10 hours. 🤷

So, ActionSA finds it acceptable to be a silent partner - even when coalition partners act unconstitutionally.

How dare they criticise the ANC about anything again. A party that won less than 3% of the vote on a xenophobic ticket teaming up with a racist party that they will not hold to account so that they can share political power claiming to talk for a whole country.

No more consultations to demonstrate the moral high ground of ActionSA. This instruction is somehow compromising ActionSA members's right to criticise what they don't agree with. It's like the party is now coercing members to embrace the DA and its policy positions.

That's a first.

Ayikho lento ye Action SA isidwedwe nje sabelungu

It's orders now 😅
