Former EFF Gauteng President Mandisa Mashego was among the political leaders who made an appearance at the launch of Herman Mashaba’s new ACTIONSA party.
This comes amid strong rumors that Mashego would be joining Mashaba’s new party.
Mashaba admitted this week that he has a close relationship with Mashego that dates back to his days as mayor of Johannesburg, when he led an EFF-backed coalition government.
He said he would love for Mashego to join his party, but that there was no agreement yet.
Mashego resigned her job as EFF president and party group leader in the Gauteng legislature in April this year after losing to Marshall Dlamini for the post of party secretary general.
She had been seen as one of the rising stars of the EFF, but her candidacy against Dlamini, a strong Malema ally, ruined her chances. Since then, speculation has abounded that he was in talks with Mashaba to join the new party.
Mashego congratulated the new political party for its formation.
“It is very important that diversified political voices enter the political space and even go to elections to have a political party or political parties and individuals who are ready to take the bull by the horns and bring a different and fresh innovator but, most importantly , much needed economic justice, ”Mashego said.
She said she was excited for the Ekurhuleni, Tshwane and Johannesburg communities as they would now have one more option on the ballot. Mashego wished Mashaba luck, saying that SA needed the party.
