PODCAST | ActionSA and its role in the coalitions chaos

In this episode of the Sunday Times Politics weekly podcasts, host Mike Siluma is joined by ActionSA national chair Michael Beaumont to discuss what seems like a drastic step, and other issues afflicting party coalitions including the continued political instability seen in some of the country's big metros such as Tshwane and Joburg. 

Beaumont says ahead of the 2024 national elections, voters ought to look at how political parties behave in coalitions and not solely focus on their party policies and leaders. 

“The future of South African politics is in coalitions,” he says. 

The discussion touches on the party's vision for the way forward, including the coalition partners the party is willing to work with, and those they won't touch, such as “unambiguously” the ANC and the EFF.
