Cape Town – ActionSA has faced a setback with the resignation of a senior member, who will be joining the Democratic Alliance (DA) in Tshwane.
The DA’s communications manager, Franco van der Berg, confirmed the move on Sunday but did not reveal the identity of the departing member, saying that more details would be shared during a press briefing on Monday.
“We cannot reveal who the member is as yet, and we cannot disclose the reasons why he/she has left ActionSA and is joining the DA. That will be revealed during the press briefing,” Van der Berg said.
The new DA member will be accompanied by key DA leaders in Tshwane.
According to News24, ActionSA’s spokesperson, Lerato Ngobeni, said that the party would not be making any comments on the issue.
“I think the DA would be better positioned to answer your questions and give you a comment on this matter,” the report quoted Ngobeni as saying.
This development follows a period of instability within ActionSA, including the departure of 22 provincial executive committee members in August, The Citizen reported.
