• South Africans are divided over ActionSA's comments that the GNU has failed so far

ActionSA has once again criticised the Government of National Unity (GNU).

Although Herman Mashaba’s party is not one of the 10 parties that make up the GNU, it has been very vocal in its criticism.

While briefing the media in Parliament, ActionSA Chairperson Michael Beaumont said that the GNU has relied on public relations over the past 100 days.

“What we are growing increasingly concerned about, which has led us to the point where we believe a tracker government performance is necessary, because it looks like we have an Instagram government that has emerged in South Africa.

“A government that tends to make announcements in tweets more than it does in terms of policy and legislative reforms in a real way,” he said.

Beaumont rated the GNU for its achievements over the past 100 days with an “e” rating.

The party’s comments about the GNU have resonated with many, but others think they’re just jealous.
