On Monday, ActionSA unveiled its 'Team Fix South Africa', a carefully curated group of candidates assembled to tackle the myriad of challenges confronting our nation.

These individuals were meticulously chosen after a rigorous selection process, drawing from diverse backgrounds spanning urban and rural communities, the public and private sectors, as well as academia and civil society.

According to the organisation, they epitomise the finest qualities of the South African populace.

"We will not engage in cadre deployment, nepotism and cronyism. We will only appoint people on merit and with impeccable track records with a commitment to clean governance and service delivery," says ActionSA.

Among these candidates is Solly Moeng, slated to represent International Relations.

With a wealth of international experience, Moeng is poised to rejuvenate South Africa's global standing and spearhead efforts to address our international reputation, they add.

Why choose ActionSA? According to Moeng, the party is firmly rooted in ethics and prioritises the advancement of a better South Africa.

He emphasises their comprehensive policy approach, contrasting it with a narrow focus, to address the country's issues holistically.

Representing International Relations, Ford raises concerns about their position on the ongoing genocide in Gaza, to which Moeng says:ย 

"ActionSA is opposed to what Israel is doing to Palestinians."
