In an interview<\/a> on Radio Islam International, ActionSA\u2019s premier candidate for the 2024 elections in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), Zwakele Mncwango, discussed the party\u2019s goals, support, the challenges facing South Africa, and the party\u2019s stance on the Palestine War.<\/p>\n

Mncwango, formerly associated with the DA, discussed his political journey and the position of ActionSA in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

Mncwango expressed enthusiasm about the growth of ActionSA in KZN, emphasising the party’s positive reception among diverse communities. With approximately 79 branches across the province and a presence in all regions, the party aims to make a meaningful contribution to the political landscape.<\/p>\n

Addressing ActionSA’s position on international matters, particularly Israel\u2019s war on Palestine, Mncwango emphasised a neutral stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe position we took with ActionSA is a neutral position,\u201d Mncwango said.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged challenges in the Middle East but stressed the importance of dialogue and a collaborative effort from the international community to find solutions. Mncwango\u2019s remarks sparked discussion on the party’s perceived neutrality in the face of genocide and war crimes.<\/p>\n

This, after ActionSA\u2019s leader, Herman Mashaba reportedly said that Palestine has to \u201cco-exist\u201d with Israel and that \u201cstanding with one party or the other is a disservice to all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mncwango redirected the conversation to focus on South Africa’s pressing issues, stating that the primary responsibility lies in combating crime and ensuring the safety of citizens.<\/p>\n

Mncwango reiterated the urgency of addressing domestic challenges, highlighting the high crime rate in South Africa. He emphasised the need to equip police officers with adequate tools to combat crime, ensuring the safety of citizens on the streets. He underscored ActionSA’s commitment to addressing pressing issues within the country.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the political spectrum, Mncwango acknowledged the likelihood of coalition arrangements in the upcoming elections. He emphasised ActionSA’s desire to actively contribute to governance rather than being in opposition, positioning the party as a potential player in coalition dynamics.<\/p>\n

The interview provided a comprehensive view of ActionSA’s approach, with Mncwango\u2019s emphasis on building support, contributing meaningfully, and addressing South Africa’s immediate challenges. The party\u2019s stance on Israel\u2019s war on Palestine raises concerns about its viability as a political option in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n
