The party’s support has grown significantly since its announcement. This is an indication that the people of South Africa want to change the direction this country is heading in. We need new leadership for a better South Africa. Leadership with integrity, he said.

Baloyi left ActionSA following a rift caused by what the party claims are irreconcilable differences on the running of the provincial structures, and a difference of opinion about policy issues.
