Who is the President?: Online user implies Mashaba is not the leader of ActionSA
Earlier, 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.
ActionSA’s Herman Mashaba hits back at Zimbabwean journalist
Briefly News previously reported that Herman Mashaba, former Johannesburg mayor and currently the president of ActionSA, has replied to claims of unstable party leadership.
A popular Zimbabwean journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono, posted an image of the party's leadership online. His caption asked, "who's in charge?"
Mashaba took offence to this post, and, according to Times Live, retorted that Chin’ono should rather focus on issues facing his home country and ActionSA's president urged the journalist not to contribute to the spread of "racialised misinformation."
