Interim National Chairperson of ActionSA, Author and Proud South African
Joined April 2018
Please keep your international festival, we will keep our country.
We regret to announce the revocation of South Africa’s designation as the Country-in-Focus for this year’s festival, and the withdrawal of the invitation of our South African guests following the victimization of Chidimma Adetshina, her family, & members of immigrant communities.

If the definition of xenophobic has changed to someone who loves their country and wants to protect its integrity while wanting foreign people to enter our country legally and obey our laws - than yes, I am proudly xenophobic.

In 2020 the City of Tshwane owed nothing to ESKOM. Today it owes R6.8 billion and faces court action next month. An ANC Mayor would be condemned for this fact. Ask yourself why it is different for a DA Mayor?

I am fascinated by this 'logic' aimed at undermining the agency of an intelligent, qualified and capable black woman. Should we therefore deduce that DA Ministers in the GNU have their strings pulled too or are unqualified, pale matriculants the only leaders with agency in SA?.
ActionSA's Mayor Nasiphi Moya is in office, but she is not in power. Her strings are pulled by the ANC's Gauteng factions and the EFF.
