ActionSA has decided not to send a formal delegation from its national leadership to the National Convention over the weekend that is meant to frame the upcoming National Dialogue, according to the party’s parliamentary leader Athol Trollip.
Instead, it would deploy senior party MPs Kgosi Letlape and Lerato Ngobeni on an observation brief to monitor and exercise oversight over the three-day meeting.
This move follows the withdrawal of the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the Freedom Front Plus (FF Plus), which cited concerns over transparency, governance and the rushed timeline of the dialogue.
Trollip said in a statement on Wednesday that their decision stemmed from unresolved concerns regarding the lawful appropriation of the budget, with no parliamentary committee duly engaged on the matter.
“ActionSA remains unconvinced that any of the concerns raised by key stakeholders, organisers and the broader public have been addressed,” he said.
