Bongani Baloyi quits ActionSA over 'irreconcilable differences' with Mashaba
Action SA has confirmed the resignation of its Gauteng chairperson Bongani Baloyi amid “irreconcilable differences” with party leader and founder Herman Mashaba.
In a statement on Monday, the party said Baloyi declined Mashaba’s offer for him to be appointed as national spokesperson.
"While it is evident that irreconcilable differences exist between Baloyi and ActionSA’s national leadership, these issues relate to differences arising from the running of the province. Various media reports over the weekend are noted for conveying a number of inaccuracies.
"ActionSA’s interim constitution makes the decision of appointing provincial chairpersons the prerogative of the president of the party until such time as an elective conference is held.”
Baloyi, who is a former DA member and mayor of Midvaal, joined ActionSA last year to lead Gauteng ahead of the 2024 elections.
He is expected to announce his future plans in a media briefing on Monday.
