A businessman turned whistleblower, a women's empowerment warrior, and a policy researcher. These are only some options to pick from in the 2024 elections as 43 political parties in Gauteng vie for support in Wednesday's election.
ActionSA submitted a Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) application to gain access to the documents of all those hired, however, the application was rejected by Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi’s office.
If the PA throws in its lot with the Multi-Party Charter for South Africa, it can lift the new coalition to within shouting distance of a majority. (Bearing in mind, of course, that local and national government elections are different.)
