Politicians play dirty: DA claims a vote for ActionSA could mean EFF in power
Earlier, Briefly News reported that members of the Democratic Alliance and ActionSA have their claws pointed at one another following some pretty brutal comments. According to DA Deputy Federal Council Chair Thomas Walters, a vote for ActionSA is a vote for the EFF.
His accusations come just days before the municipal elections and definitely pack a punch. In a letter, Walters claims current ActionSA leader Herman Meshaba unduly used his time as the Mayor of Johannesburg to lobby for the EFF., The Citizen reports.
"Mr Mashaba clearly sees the EFF as a partner, not a danger to the future of South Africa. EFF policies would take SA down the road to ruin, but Mr Mashaba sees them as a partner," he wrote.

The South African Police Act mandates its employees to not display their personal political associations or preferences while on duty and wearing their uniform.
This law does not prevent police officers from being members of political parties and participating in events in their spare time but rather aims to present the police force as a unified, unbiased, entity.
