Allie's exit from Build One South Africa

The appointment follows Allie's departure from Build One South Africa (BOSA) after the party terminated her membership. Her membership was terminated on 23 July 2026, following a lengthy internal disciplinary process.

Allie had served as BOSA's sole Member of the Provincial Legislature in Gauteng for roughly two years, having joined the party in early 2024, initially in the role of communications director.

While BOSA did not publicly detail the specific charges against her, reports indicated the dispute centred on an alleged failure to make mandatory salary contributions to the party, commonly referred to as party tithes. BOSA cited accountability among public representatives as the basis for the disciplinary action.
