"Who is the president?": Herman Mashaba claps back after Twitter user implies he is only the face of ActionSA

Proving that the politician is no stranger to Twitter, Briefly News reported that ActionSA leader and former Johannesburg executive mayor Herman Mashaba took to social media to clarify why he chose to pursue a political career.

One Twitter user who goes by the handle @Orion4Molotsi made the claim that Mashaba was merely the face of his political organisation and that there was a real president of ActionSA.

The user also questioned who the funders of ActionSA are and stated that he has a timing trusting the political organisation for those reasons. Mashaba who is also the founder of hair company 'Black Like Me', clapped back at the user and said that he would not use his own money to start a political organisation just to be the face of it.
