That’s almost 2 years before the establishment of ActionSA. I was serving as the Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg in October 2018, when Prince, who I knew from a distance, was one of my biggest critics.
Mashaba made these comments as the party unveiled former Democratic Alliance councillor and former Speaker in the Knysna local Municipality, Advocate Julie Anne Lopes as their new member.“I’ve said this on many platforms and I am saying this to you that right now I am not taking things for granted.
