ActionSA is gunning for the heart of Ekurhuleni, and crime-fighting activist Xolani Khumalo is leading the charge. Party leader Herman Mashaba made the dramatic announcement in Tembisa, where he called out corruption and poor service delivery while unveiling Khumalo as a community-rooted candidate ready to clean up the metro. Could this be ActionSA’s trump card in Gauteng’s most contested municipality? Phemelo speaks to Mashaba the party’s strategy, stakes and what Khumalo brings to the table.
