Parliamentary newcomer ActionSA is determined to be a constructive force in parliament, positioning itself as a vital player in holding the executive accountable. With the DA now part of the executive, ActionSA sees a gap in the opposition benches that it aims to fill.
Despite only securing 1.2% of the vote and holding just six seats in the National Assembly, ActionSA believes it is punching above its weight. Party leader Athol Trollip emphasizes the importance of a strong opposition in a parliament where 71% is part of the government of national unity.
By preparing well and staying committed, ActionSA is making an impact in parliament, focusing on accountability and transparency. The party plans to propose changes to the ministerial handbook, aiming for more responsible fiscal support for ministers.
With the belief that they can move mountains with just six members, ActionSA is poised to be a significant player in ensuring effective governance and accountability in South Africa.
